Tina Turner (born Anna Mae Bullock; November 26, 1939) is an American singer and actress whose career has spanned more than 50 years. She has won numerous awards. Turner started out her music career with husband Ike Turner as a member of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. Success followed with a string of hits including "River Deep, Mountain High" and the 1971 hit "Proud Mary". With the publication of her autobiography I, Tina (1986), Turner revealed severe instances of spousal abuse against her by Ike Turner prior to their 1976 split and subsequent 1978 divorce. After virtually disappearing from the music scene for several years following her divorce from Ike Turner, she rebuilt her career, launching a string of hits beginning in 1983 with the single "Let's Stay Together" and the 1984 release of her fifth solo album Private Dancer.
Her musical career led to film roles, beginning with a prominent role as The Acid Queen in the 1975 film Tommy, and an appearance in Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. She starred opposite Mel Gibson as Aunty Entity in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome for which she received the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture, and her version of the film's theme, "We Don't Need Another Hero", was a hit single. She appeared in the 1993 film Last Action Hero.
Stand up, looking pretty
Another face on the production line
Shot down, such a pity
You make a living serving cherry wine
I can see that we've got no choice
But to dismiss you from us all
-Another ones on the way
Anyway, by the end of the day
It's kind of good to see you crawl
-Ain't gonna get no second chance
I only hope we can buy some time
Before the ratings start to fall
Who's the master of the plan
In this Psycho Wonderland?
In the Thunderdome
You've got the right to win or loose
In the Thunderdome
You've got a choice but you can't choose
In the Thunderdome
Behind a shroud of circumstance
In the Thunderdome
In the Thunderdome
Bright lights make you flirty
You say you want to be a friend of mine
Backstage, getting dirty
You got your status doing overtime
I can see that we've got no choice
But to dismiss you from us all
-Another ones on the way
Anyway, by the end of the day
It's kind of good to see you crawl
-Ain't gonna get no second chance
I only hope we can buy some time
Before the ratings start to fall
Who's the master of the plan
In this Psycho Wonderland?
In the Thunderdome
You've got the right to win or loose
In the Thunderdome
You've got a choice but you can't choose
In the Thunderdome
Behind a shroud of circumstance
In the Thunderdome
In the Thunderdome
In this Psycho Wonderland...
In the Thunderdome
You've got the right to win or loose
In the Thunderdome
You've got a choice but you can't choose
In the Thunderdome
Behind a shroud of circumstance
In the Thunderdome
'Cause you can never settle for less
In the Thunderdome
Watch out for the martyr
'Cause he'll be flooding your empty screen
In the Thunderdome
Can't look but you gotta
Another day in a broken dream - so helpless
In the Thunderdome
Keep pusing the limits
Until the best of them play a round
In the Thunderdome
Keep making the headlines
Until there's only the underground
Cut the lights now
