TELL ALEX, TELL SANDRA
<p>Tell Alex, tell Sandra, </p><p>The road to fame is perilous. </p><p>Prestige of many are crying to be named. </p><p>Relatives forgot what ties look like. </p><p>Brothers agree water is thicker than blood. </p><p>Sisters aren't ashamed of a dance of shame. </p><p>All, on the route to fame.</p><p><br/></p><p>Tell Alex, tell Sandra. </p><p>Many have been given out to be slaughtered, </p><p>On the altar of betrayal and callousness. </p><p>A home once welcomed as a haven, now, </p><p>An abattoir replica, Golgotha clone, </p><p>Altar of sheer and real wickedness, </p><p>Where trust is traded for a piece of silver.</p><p><br/></p><p>Tell Alex, tell Sandra. </p><p>The route to fame is subtly deceptive; </p><p>Faith of many has been on this, shipwrecked. </p><p>Who will help it? Who will help them? </p><p>Who will save them? Who will dare it? </p><p>When an oath isn't far-fetched by them </p><p>To assure you they are still right on track.</p><p><br/></p><p>Tell Alex, tell Sandra. </p><p>Tell them now when they are yet to embark. </p><p>The journey to fame has a lot of hurdles. </p><p>Howl your voices as loud as gongs, </p><p>Clear enough to be heard on a distant hill. </p><p>The route to fame has an arena </p><p>Where love is sacrificed for a bowl of meat. </p><p>And, again, all on the route to fame.</p><p><br/></p>
