We're soft like cotton
Made hard like diamond
Our minds light as feathers
They gain as we grow
Your heart seems delicate like paper
The scars reveal it's stone

Here without a reason
Acting with bad reason
Speaking with small words
While standing on tall pedestals
Give a bright smile
Tell a nice tale
Say what they like to hear
And you'll rule for years
Do what'll give you gold
Spread wrong as if it's bold

Your name's on the papers
Print a few more flyers
Your name's on big screens
Paint a few more pictures
And spread the love you'd made to kill

Honesty is for the weak
Bravery is for the weak
Modesty is for the weak
Pride is for the weak

Lies are for the strong
Cowardice for the clever
Exaggeration for the winners
Conceit for the achievers

Tell them all to tell it all
To her and him and everyone else
To help build a wall between the truth and yourself
To keep you on tall pedestals
Have more trophies brought to your shelf
Keep your name radiant with dirt
Our waste is now our virtue.
