Cyndi Lauper

Rich man, poor man, beggar man thief
You can fool some people
But you can't fool me
Harbor all the hate and greed
Threaten demise of democracy

There's a raging storm
In a troubled sea
But you're clouding my mind
With celebrityM
There are darker times for me
Behind smoke and mirrors, amputees
It's a different world
Now i see the deflowering
Of the birds and bees

There's a raging storm
In a troubled sea
But you're clouding my mind with celebrity

You can fight for the right to be
But ya better not do a bad show on MTV

Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
You can fool some people but you can't fool me
Smart Bombs, Rock Stars, Suit Case Queens
God's love we deliver out destiny

There's a raging storm in a troubled sea
But you're clouding my mind with celebrity
Come on people, yea yea, yea, yea

There's a raging storm in a troubled sea
But you're clouding my mind with celebrity
Come on people, yea yea, yea, yea,......

An 80’s pop starlet that skyrocketed her way to the top of the mainstream game, Cyndi Lauper has made her mark as an artist both socially and musically.

Beginning her solo career in the 1983 with hit debut album She’s So Unusual, Lauper came to be a household name with the four top-five hits that came with the record, including breakthrough single “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and the visceral, chart-topping “Time After Time”. Her camp attitude, electrifying vocals, and unrelenting earworms made an impression on the general public, and she would take home Best New Artist and Best Album Package at the Grammy’s for She’s So Unusual, amidst 4 other nominations. Lauper would never reach the same sort of stardom again musically following She’s So Unusual, but her legacy was far from over.

She’s So Unusual set the ground for her next True Colors. Released in 1986, the album most notably contained title-track “True Colors”, which would grow to become a primary anthem of the gay rights movement. Lauper would later serve as a key advocate of the LGBT community, and she has fairly consistently addressed homophobia throughout her career.
