In what might probably be part of Her Madgesty’s attempt to be like Santa Angelina, Madonna writes a song inspired by Live Earth. Okay, okay, she does this on her own volition and not something out of sheer imitation of Angelina Jolie’s altruistic humanitarian efforts.
After adopting a Malawian child - following in the footsteps of Ms. Jolie, who to this day already has 3 adopted kids (I will be the fourth adoptee for more Papa Pitt incestuous relations) from different countries - Madonna has written a new song inspired by the environment. Beat that Ms. Jolie!
And to make it more humanitarian and really having a cause, MSN has tied up with Her Madgesty and offers FREE downloads of her single:
Inspired by Live Earth, Madonna has written a new song titled “Hey You,” which is available exclusively on MSN, free of charge, for seven days. “Hey You” was produced by Pharrell Williams and Madonna and recorded in London. Madonna will perform “Hey You” as one of the headliners for Live Earth U.K., joining the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Genesis, the Beastie Boys and other performers at Wembley Stadium in London on July 7, as part of the 24-hour, seven-continent Live Earth concert series.
As the exclusive online destination for Live Earth, MSN is pleased to offer this song in conjunction with Madonna and is proud to donate 25 cents for each of the first 1 million downloads to the Alliance for Climate Protection, in support of Live Earth.

The song ain’t that bad. It’s actually good. Labo diba? Some of the lyrics are kinda cliche but hey, for someone jaded like me, nothing is cliche!
Lyrics after the jump
Hey You
Don’t you give up
It’s not so bad
There’s still a chance for us
Hey You
Just be yourself
Don’t be so shy
There’s reasons why it’s hard
Keep it together
You’ll make it all right
Our celebration is going on tonight
Poets and prophets…what ending would we do?
This could be good…hey you
Hey you
Open your heart
It’s not so strange
You’ve got to change…this time
Hey you
Remember this
None of it’s real…including the way you feel
Keep it together
You’ll make it all right
Our celebration is going on tonight
Poets and prophets…what ending would we do?
This could be good…hey you
Save your soul, little sister
Save your soul, little brother
Hey you
Save yourself
Don’t rely on anyone else
First, love yourself
Then, you can love someone else
Then, you can change someone else
Then, you have saved someone else
But, you must first love yourself
Then, you can love someone else
Then, you can change someone else
If you can change someone else
Then, you have saved someone else
But, you must first…
Hey you
There on the fence
You’ve got a choice
One day…it will make sense
Hey you
First, love yourself
And, if you can’t
Try to love someone else
Keep it together
You’ll make it all right
Our celebration is going on tonight
Poets and prophets…what ending would we do?
This could be good…hey you
First, love yourself
Then, you can love someone else
Then, you can change someone else
Then, you have saved someone else
But, you must first love yourself
Then, you can love someone else
Then, you can change someone else
If you can change someone else
Then, you have saved someone else
But, you must first…
