This is Janna's hit single, "Machine," off of her album, "Shameless Self-Promotion." The song has been re-recorded and repurposed for "The Show Must Go On." Ever since her father's diagnosis, Janna has been interpreting the lyrics of this song differently - "I'm working like a machine for you baby, so no no no no no please don't you break me" now relate to her father's relationship with his own body, and his journey to a full recovery.

Hear the original "Machine," plus Janna's Makeshift Popstar music video for the song here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Demuyq83RU

lyrics

Well if I want something you better believe that I get it
Nothing can stop me, oh no, baby I just will not let it
And if you try to tell me different then you are just jealous
I've got everything I need now I just have to go sell it

If you do or don't believe I've got a few tricks up my sleeve
The choice is simple, take or leave your love your life your childhood dreams

CHORUS
I'm working like a Machine for you baby
I'm working like a Machine for you baby
So no no no no no please don't you break me
I'm working like a Machine for you baby
(Ha ha ha ha ha HA HA)

One thing that I know for sure is that I will not regret it
I'm doing this one for me, not university credit
If I don't take a chance now, then I will never forget it
My schedule's up to me cuz I'm the mother who set it (you said it!)

If you do or don't believe I've got a few tricks up my sleeve
The choice is simple, take or leave your love your life your childhood dreams

CHORUS

(piano VS machine solo)

As I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake then that's a risk I'll have to take

CHORUS
