Recognition

This has been on my mind and I want you to listen
I never seem to get any meaningful recognition
I’m sorry I want to be seen as a beauty queen
I think my lack of love makes me want to reign supreme

And I fear fame and fortune because I already can’t deal
Would I become selfish the way the top one percent feels?
I don’t wanna be me, I just wanna be real
But reality is so construed when life is so surreal

Suddenly different tragedies are now compared
And another docu-series, another shooting is aired
And saying “My life was worse” makes you feel special
Competing for recognition just for a medal

You, you, you, you, you-ooh-ooh

You don’t really care, you just want the story
Another spectacle, another girl dies with worry
And I know I’m gonna die in 2030
‘Cause global warming’s gonna kill us gonna kill us gonna

You don’t really care, you just want the story
Another spectacle, another girl dies with worry
And I know we’re gonna die in 2030
We’re in a fragile state where war is coming shortly

Where war is coming shortly
And we’re all gonna die
And we’re all gonna die
We’re all gonna die
All gonna die
We’re all gonna die
