about

You've watched American Idol. This track takes a new slant on the Reality of the Music Business. With a dose of humor.

lyrics

Finding a millionaire is quite a task,
When there's only personality behind the mask
Simon sits in judgement as we bare our souls
Millions try to make it
fore they get too old

Chorus:
Reality Idol, just watch me sing
Reality Idol, let freedom ring!

Look in Country Music's got a great format
If you haven't got the talent wear a Cowboy hat
Bottle it with Twang make sure to wash your hair
And if you can write a song you just might get somewhere

Chorus:
Reality Idol, just watch me sing
Reality Idol, let freedom ring!

Bridge:
Do you think I'm good enough
Paying dues is just too tough

Find yourself a Bachelor or a Bachelorette
Get the partners that you need from your TV set
Don't forget to pause to think there's lots at stake
You've got only 20 Seconds it's your Big Fat Break!

Chorus:
Reality Idol, just watch me sing
Reality Idol, let freedom ring!
