SCREEN QUEEN


 


She’s
just a pretty face upon the screen


One
more movie picture queen


Locked
into a role she’s forced to play


A
signature on the dotted line she has no say


Worshipped
up on screen in the theatre seats by hundreds of eyes


Smiling
for the crowds it’s only when she’s alone she cries


Nothing’s
ever simple when your life’s blinded by the flashes


Carrion
birds circling above waiting to catch negative reactions


She’s
just another pretty face in a magazine


The
world’s movie picture queen


Rumor
and speculations abound


Always
a camera close around


She’s
tired of all the people watching her through the glass


Having
to stand back and accept the class clash


She’s
sick of make-up and sugar coated smiles


Wanting
to run away and never know the number of miles


Stressed
and worn out from the fame


Sick
of playing at the media’s game


She’s
just one more pretty face upon the screen
