Playful looks, clever hooks
Drama done in style
Got the talent on the books
And data loaded in your file
Pretty pictures say a lot
But not a dot is true
There's so much junk to edit out
And all your friends
Are just like you

Here it is, the life
You dreamt about
Everybody paid to see
Listen to the mob
They scream and shout
They dig your personality
Pearls of wisdom turn to dust
Your bottom line, an offshore trust
Hearts and minds snap to on cue
And all your friends
Are just like you

Iconic fate, perfect date
It isn't what it seems
Precious people dedicate
Their waking hours
And killing dreams
So walk among us when you care
And share your point of view
But no one doubts you're well aware
That all your friends
Are just like you

Love and peace is what we do
These words have meanings
That are new
If you don't buy it, that's on you

Hate and war, the sick and poor
These things are problems too
The answers we're all looking for
Are on your list of stuff to do
So let us fix our gaze upon
The brightest of the few
Some people that you brought along
They're all your friends
And just like you

Here it is, the life
That brought you low
Everybody paid in kind
Listen to the mob
They love you so
Even though you rob them blind
All the money in the world
The trash and baubles
That you're due
A Nobel prize, just give the word
And all your friends
Will get one too

Royalty, conspiracy
Rackets that pay well
There's content here
For all your needs
To liven up the road to hell
The blackest angel of them all 
Stuck with you through and through
But now you're lost like many souls
And all your friends
Are just like you

Here it is, the life
You dreamt about
Everybody paid to see
Listen to the mob
They scream and shout
They dig your personality
Pearls of wisdom turn to dust
Your bottom line, an offshore trust
Hearts and minds turn off on cue
And all your friends
Are just like you
