Take a Mouskarette and make it a star,
Lacking any substance it'll go far,
Dumb it down for toothless thinkers,
Proud to wear their blinkers,
Zero to Hero, in sixty seconds,
No fear, no, nobody knows your career low,
Is ten more seconds away.
Put it on display in every mall,
Plastic makes perfect perfectly dull,
Transcendental medication,
For the TV nation,
Zero to Hero, in sixty seconds,
No fear, no, nobody knows your career low,
Is ten more seconds away.
A little song and dance will do the trick,
Throw a stage parent in the mix,
A nationally televised blunder,
You stole your own thunder.
Make it mine like the puppet it is,
In the name of shameless shallow showbiz,
Dress it like a little punkette,
And send it on a junket.
Zero to Hero, in sixty seconds,
No fear, no, nobody knows your career low,
Is ten more seconds away,
It's ten more seconds away,
Is ten more seconds away,
Yeah, it just ten seconds away!
