********************************************************************************

The hypocrisy and fake glamour of celebrities and influencers, wrapped in pure, chaotic rock 'n' roll rebellion. 
It’s a razor-sharp and sarcastic sneer at people who do everything they can to seem perfect, but are completely hollow and hypocritical underneath.

In short: it’s a deliciously irreverent song that pokes fun at the fake entertainment world, sung with a cool, nonchalant wink...

********************************************************************************

Are we rolling? Whatever.

Gazing at the mirror, trying way too hard,
A painted imitation on a plastic postcard.
Got the perfect posture, got the fancy shoes,
But you're just a headline that I’d rather lose.
Yeah, you think you’re magic, standing in the light,
But your little spark is burning out tonight!

You’re swimming in circles, teeth start to show,
Deep in the shallow end, nowhere to go.
Selling out secrets to anyone there,
With your customized smile and your perfect hair!
Back off!

Welcome to our mess, yeah! We’ve got no control!
You’re acting like a royal, but you’ve got no soul!
In this little jungle, you’re gonna learn to crawl,
Watch the plastic empire stumble and fall!
Yeah! Feel the chaos!

Now you’re playing victim, crying to the press,
Another manufactured, fashionable stress.
You wanted the attention, you wanted the acclaim,
But nobody remembers how to spell your name.

No cover-up story is saving you now,
The curtain is falling, so take a final bow.
You thought you could trick us, you thought you were smart,
But you’re just a fake right from the start!

Oh, look at you go.
So dramatic.
So neat.

Yeah, that’s good enough. Let's get coffee.
