Ashlee Simpson
Was Shawn Mullens just Larry Mullen's kid?
The way Tal Bachman turned out to be the guy from BTO's kid?
Is that how Shawn Mullens got the gig?
And it turns out he's an unbalanced socialite no-talent
Good for nothing loser with a big shot dad?
And why's it gotta be so bad?
Why does it have to happen this way?
Mill Vanilli didn't get a second chance,
So why does Ashlee Simpson?
Your hair is blonder and your eyes are bluer
And your blood is much more crimson.
Was Joan Osborne just Ozzy Osbourne's kid?
The way Norah Jones turned out to be Ravi Shankar's kid?
Is that how Joan Osborne got the gig?
And it turns out she's an overrated underweight medicated
Good for nothing loser with a big shot dad?
And why's it gotta be so bad?
Why does it have to happen this way?
Mill Vanilli didn't get a second chance,
So why does Ashlee Simpson?
Your hair is blonder and your eyes are bluer
And your blood is much more crimson.
And it occurs to me that Ashlee Simpson is the voice of a generation.
One that knows how to do what it's told,
But is completely helpless without direction.
One that mimics a message it has been instructed to memorize.
And one that, when it's time has run out, just wants to do a little dance.
Soldier in battle doesn't get a second chance,
Why does Ashlee Simpson?
Spaceship in travel doesn't get a second chance,
Why does Ashlee Simpson?
Half-eaten cattle didn't get a second chance,
Why does Ashlee Simpson?
She had to have a big shot dad.
