lyrics

I heard you stopped the show in Wonder Woman 4
A 99% Tomatometer score
Performance on a level never seen before

There used to be a market wherein which I’d thrive
My movies used to have a chance to be top five
And now I cope with a career I can’t revive

I met Scorsese
Here’s what he told me

Franchises killed the mid-budget film x2
They’ve left me lying in the pilm

Can you recall the summer of 2006
In which I had not one, not two, but three hit flicks
I guess each one was just the same old bag of tricks

And I’m not asking for a golden statuette
Nor superhero riches or a private jet
I only want to be a piece you won’t forget

I see my old dreams
On D*sney Pl*s streams

Franchises killed the mid-budget film x2
And now, despite my desperate plea
All my fans would rather see
The new Jurassic Galaxy

Franchises killed the mid-budget film x2
All my friends are super jacked
Dehydration’s made them stacked
Keeping all the theaters packed
How ironic is the fact
None of us can really act?

(You are a mid-budget hack) x2

Franchises killed the mid-budget film x10
