I don't know how it started but it can't end too soon   The way the tide is turning I think you're singing the wrong tune   You're addicted to an image you can never attain   The time and money spent enough to drive me insane   You're fronting like a billboard but easier to read   An ounce of introspection is what you probably need   You don't have care   Your bandwagon's rolling but it's going nowhere      I'm not buying in   You'll be all alone   You're all dressed up   With no place to go      I'm lookin' through the pages of a magazine   My stomach nearly turns at the images I see   A plastic persona fronts on every page   My blood starts to boil,   I border on rage   Could you really be so jaded just to throw yourself away   I know what I see,   cause I see it everyday   it's so plain to see   You're just another product,   a commodity      So long ago,   I knew you then   The truth be told,   we were the closest of friends   And you were so much more than you'll ever know   So much deeper than appearances show   But you traded all you had for a glossy shine   And you choke down insincerity like vintage wine   Just thinkin' back to the friend I knew   I wish that things were different cause I won't be fooled   No more      It's only human nature   And I'm the same way   But if I had the chance   I'd throw it all away!
