Celebrity

There isn't too much you can do to me
Under-prepared, and yet over-exposed
I wasn't ready for celebrity
I should have had new hair, new face, new clothes;
But now that I have passed that first bad stage
And recognized that I am what I am,
It doesn't work to tell me "Act your age"
Or try to trick me into some strange scam.
I've done this now, and so I know the ropes,
And nothing you can do to me will change
The fact that I've been interviewed by dopes
Coddled, attacked, and told to rearrange
My whole entire being; what can you
When all of this is done, pretend to do?
