You expect everything I say to be profound
Said with deep meaning and thoughtfulness
But I’m sorry my dear I’m just hear to speak my mind
And if you know what’s good for you
You won’t sit around complaining
Just let life unfold, from dreads of grey to glistening gold
Although, I can’t guarantee what shade you’ll get from me

Beautiful faces don’t have to worry about personality
They can get away without being intelligent or funny
I wish my looks were enough to make me desirable
But unlike them I have to put in the effort
To get by day to day to make sure my talent doesn’t go the same way
As your increasingly declining form of morality
Straight down a black hole never to return again

The men that run the world are the ones you never see
Profiting in their hand-made suffering
But do you really think they care about all the fatalities
While they’re performing inhumane atrocities?
And if you spied on them for one evening
It wouldn’t surprise me if they went to sleep in a suit and tie
Not giving a **** about the how and why
If the winning ends vindicate the indefensible means

Holy smokes, is this all a joke?
That heaven only allows in the fascinating and wealthy
Because if that’s the case I’m sure to be in trouble
Even if it’s a place made up by bored fantasists
The thought alone still makes me restless
I’m just a common fool who’s forever spinning around
And I’ll only come back down if you admit this is all lie
