Ha, well thought. HMTMKMKM is actually The Showman: The Prelude.
You've been stealing
From the thieves and you got caught
You're a star
Dressing like your sister
Living like a tart
They don't know what you're doing
Babe, it must be art
Believing in yourself
Almost as much as you doubt
You're a big smash
Oh no, don't be shy
There's a crowd to cry
They want you to be Jesus
They'll go down on one knee
But they'll want their money back
If you're alive at thirty-three
That's as close as it gets to a punch in the face of show business and stardom.
(The last verse, "They want you to be Jesus... ... alive at 33" is quite probably my favorite verse of all time. It's just human hypocrisy at its best).
