Song #22 - Victoria & Her Trophies

This is V of the ABC series... I wrote this song while I was teaching at a rock and roll camp about a month ago... Kids these days have all sorts of pressures to be better that the next kid... and a lot of kids are overbooked... and really feel the pressure of it... I think I may have spit on my microphone when I recorded it.. ha. Kinda of sounds like it.

Victoria & Her Trophies

Victoria is probably plotting against you. She always has to win...
First place. Never second. Doesn't want to disappoint...
Her father. Her Mother... Tell her she needs to win.
They need bragging rights at cocktail parties, your trophies are their prize.
She'll do whatever it takes. She'll do whatever it takes.

CHORUS:
Victoria is everything they wanted her to be.
All of the finest schools and the finest things.
But everything is not fine. Everything's not fine.

Study hard or sabotage, Its hard to be the best...
At everything and all the time... she's got her game face on.
5 hours a day for her beauty rest. 19 hours cramming to be
Their perfect little princess, their overqualified queen.
She'll do whatever it takes. She'll do whatever it takes.

Victoria. Valedictorian.
Bittersweet victories. They show you off to all of their friends.
They gave you everything, but didn't give you what you need...
She's never quite good enough but she just wants to be loved.
She'll do whatever it takes. She'll do whatever it takes.

ENDING:
Everything is not what she needs.
And the best is never good enough.
Everything is not fine. Everything is not fine.
