Stop looking up to people who suck. If don't idol your friends, get better friends.

lyrics

You idolize the people on the screen,
Thinking you know everything they stand for,
Like 'how can anyone like that be mean?"
When all they ask for is more, more,

More of the endorsements to fund their empty lives,
More of the divorcements from fake husbands and wifes,
More empty words about their money and sex lives,
Not that it's a crime, but I think you need new idols

I think you need new Idols

Ariana Grande doesn't give a shit about your ass,
As long as she is still flying first class,
They don't care about you, they don't want to give back,
They can't afford their cover to be...

Cracked by the kids who want to live their own lives,
Cracked by the angry Proletariat's disguise,
Cracked like the ice when it can't support the weight,
You talk about the truth while they make you regurgitate

I think you need new Idols

It's the largest stars that always seem the brightest,
Just because they have the privilege to be the closest,
We might be small and minuscule,
But our voices will carry on forever!
