I Don't Care About Award Shows - Rachel Bloom

I don’t need to beg for some acclaim

To desperately build my fame

I write and sing and act to be a part

Of a community of people who value integrity

I don’t care about award shows

I don’t need the shallow praise

I don’t have the inkling of a yen

I’d rather sit in my den

Wearing black and reading ancient Grecian plays

All the world’s a stage

And all the men are only players

So why would a hunk of tin

Be in my prayers?

I only pray about emotions

Or when to use a comma

And when I pray, I pray to Dionysus

The Greek god of drama

That’s right, I pray to Greek gods

I’m classically trained

I don’t care about award shows

Or wearing gowns like this

I’d rather act Chekhov

Than answer a heck of a lot of

Red carpet questions about who’s the most fun to kiss

(The answer’s Ryan.)

I don’t care about award shows

The only award I care about

Is the one for not caring about award shows

And for that I am so proud

(Spoken)

That award kinda looks like an Emmy

(Song)

Well, that’s just happenstance

Ow!

I don’t care about award shows

Oh, and I’d like to thank the fans

(Spoken)

And I’d also like to thank Zeus, Aphrodite, Les Moonves, and the guy who wrote

Notting Hill
