Today our world is so shallow,
Maybe it's always been like this
We are just starting to notice it.
Be pretty, lose weight,
Say whatever others
Would like you to say.
Laugh, even if the joke is not funny,
Kill, when they do not agree,
Lie, so you are not lonely.
Be crazy, when you are not,
Think fast, so you don't stay behind.
Act cool, act cool,
Damn, you think you are so cool.
You talk, but you don't listen,
You talk, but you don't think,
You can die in a street,
No one will care to say the least.
Today we are so shallow,
We hate people who are not us,
We love to rise by stepping on others.
We think we can change the world
By doing nothing for each other.
We hate, we start wars
Just for the sake of it,
Instead of saving the love
And sharing it.
Today we are so shallow,
We have a hard time looking
At each other,
But we are so good at
Staring in the mirror.
Today our world is so hollow,
It feels like it's too hard
To even say a "Hello".
