Prime Time

from So, Be Yourself by Glenn Case

lyrics

I know
I need
To prove myself
Before
I can
Become 'top shelf'
In time
I might
Just have exactly what it takes

I don't mind practicing
I put my fair share in

And it's bound to work out fine
'Cause I'll be the next in line
Because it's been a dream of mine
To be in prime time (prime time)
To be in prime time (prime time)

I worked
And soon
I got the part
It felt
So great
I felt so smart
And still
I have
To say it's different from this side

The magic kind of fades
When you see it every day

When you work behind the scenes
Well, it's nothing like those dreams
But, I guess that's what it means
To be in prime time (prime time)
To be in prime time (prime time)

Egos and flare, and tempers too
Why the hell did they get the bigger dressing room?
And, if that no-name chump got a raise, I better get one too!

The smiles are fake when the camera's on
Like a spoiled, trained monkey that knows how to perform
But, the moment the red light's off, it's back to
Stabbing more backs (*clap* *clap*)
And covering tracks (*clap* *clap*)
Distorting the facts (*clap* *clap*)
And insincere laughs

I see
It's not
The way it was
Back when
I dreamt
About this stuff
They lie
They cheat
They steal
When they're not kissing ass (*kiss* *kiss*)

But I didn't hone my craft
To put up with that crap!
(Back up off me, sir.)

And I never would have guessed
It's such an overrated mess
It's a waste of time at best
To be in prime time (prime time)
To be in prime time (prime time)
To be in prime time (prime time)
To be in prime time (prime time)

Glenn Case Spokane, Washington

I write music.

I listen to music.

I genuinely just love music.

I have a song available in "Rock Band" and that makes me smile.

Yeah, I'm the guy who did the soundtrack for "The New Adventures of Captain S".

I probably release too many albums, but I do attempt to find a good balance between quality and quantity.

Thank you. ... more
