Tuesday's Famine Relief part 2: the song

Every good charity deserves a tribute song, why should the “dying to be thinner” Hollywood starlet’s be any different?
Bono and Mick Jagger have joined together to pen the new charity single which will help raise funds to feed the Olsen twins and Lara Flynn Boyle (sure they don’t eat much, but it still can be expensive to just look good going out!).

Hum along to (the tune of We Are the World…) “We are the girls”….

There comes a time when we heed the casting call
When Hollywood women fight to be “the one”
There are agents lying, and women literally dying
It’s time to lend a hand to make them clean their plate
Make sure they ate it all…

We can’t go on pretending day by day
That some director will soon make a change
They don’t want to cast a fat actress
The truth- make them shed it by yesterday!

(chorus)
We are the girls, we are the women
We are the ones who want to land the next big role
So we’ll stop eating
We’re risking our own lives
It’s true we’ll be skinner in a day
If it kills us to look that way

Well, send them some food
So they know someone cares
And their bones will be strong as can be
As Cher has shown us
By taking out a few ribs
You can win an Oscar if you’re just willing to give

(repeat chorus)

When you’re down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There’s no way they can fall
Well, well, well, let’s realize
That change has truly come
When Kristey Alley wins the casting call!

(repeat chorus to fade…..)
