These days
Shock value
Is more than what it’s worth,
More than what it’s worth.
Craved fame
For dinner, didn’t you?
To be followed by your crew,
Plastered on the news.
If it’s what I have to do,
I’ll do it.
I’ll do it.
Does that make it right?
Do you know?
Can you tell me?
If it’s part of the feeling,
Bending the meaning:
Desperation is art.
How can I survive
In a world that won’t love me,
As much as I need?
We’re all crazy.
We’re all one.
These days
I’ll show you
What you want me to be.
I’ll give you anything.
Crave fame
Forever
Every second needs a show,
Always playing spectacles.
If it’s where I have to go,
I’ll do it.
I’ll do it.
