Pretentious

Why is this world so pretentious

self-centered, building up your fences

Gotta take the prettiest picture

Photoshop for the best features

Your looks are all you care about

Your fake little words, and perfect pout

Well? are you happy now?

You seem to be, I wonder how?

Your powders and plastic

To me it's just tragic.

If this is the fate of the world

With saggy-pants and barbie-girls

I'd rather be six feet under

What will become of you, I wonder

When your looks fade

You've lost your trade

High school's bound to end

Will those shallow people remain your friend?
