Tuned into the 'Bland Delusion'
Summon them and hear them 'singing'
Sing real nice and they'll pick you for their show
The song is sung, the notes start straying
Suddenly my head is pounding
Wish they'd kept their dream all to themselves!

But they're schooled by the radio, the iPod and the MP3s
They see the videos of how their life should be
But that's not every day reality

So if you stink they're likely to be refusin'
'Cause you failed to make the grade
Just remember that it's a competition
And no, you haven't been betrayed (we're not swayed)

[Instrumental, no singing!]

So don't you blink or likely they'll be excusin'
And you'll never have the fame
Just remember that you sing in seclusion
And in the shower's not the same

American I-dol auditions
Join them in their blind ambitions
Hope it doesn't leave a lasting scar

But every night I watch in wonder
They come out from rock they're under
To show the world their singing blunders
It's just too bizarre.....
