Star Quality

Turn me on

But I won't start

Fill me up

But I'm empty

Charge my motors

But they don't run


I'm a car

You expected a touch of reliability

But in the end I failed you

What's new lady?


Wind my gears

But I don't run

Pull my string

I don't talk

Put batteries in me

But I don't turn on


I'm a toy

You expected a touch of fun and hilarity

But in the end I let you down

What's new kid?


Put your faith in me

But things end in misery

Show me compassion

I give you anger in return

Give me the resources I need

But I do nothing with them


I'm a man

You expected a touch of star quality

But in the end I didn't meet you half way

What's new friend?


The car rusts

The toy abandoned

And as for the man, he's alone in the world


What's new?


The car sits

The toy rots

The man...feels the need to change.



What's new world?

I'm new. And I want to change


Let's not hold back now

Trust me once more


Put your faith in me

I want to give you progress

Show me compassion

I want to care for you in return

Give me the resources I need

I'll show the world how great I am


I'm a changed man

You should know what to expect in me

I'm hungry for success

I want the world to see what I can do

I want to do great things

That touch of star quality

Is now burning inside me.
