You never say that I can't do what I want to
I just got to believe itand it will be
I think that's crazy it's gotta take more to be adored
like you're legitimate

the crude and shallow
act like such royalty

'cause all I hear them say is

"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
look at me, I've got self-esteem
I'm sick of all the fakin'that it takes to make it big
'cause all I hear them say is
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
look at me, I belong on a widescreen
forget the talent it's so insignificant"

What's so wrong with
wantin' to sing a song 'bout my inner frustrations?
Maybe you could identify... We're not perfect
so why should we pretend?
I just want to end
your need for me to be ostentatious

You just want somebody with attitude
a strong persona you'd
like to aspire to
and I can understand that
but it's not germane
forget the art
you just want an accessory

I believe ego-trippin' don't flatter you

Every time I see them strut it
something in me's gotta shut it down, down, down

'cause all I hear them say is

"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
look at me, I've got self-esteem
I'm sick of all the fakin'
that it takes to make it big'
cause all I hear them say is
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
look at me, I belong on a widescreen
forget the talent it's so insignificant"

I look around
all I see is unchecked vanity
and a desperate need to believe

"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
look at me, I've got self-esteem
I'm sick of all the fakin'
that it takes to make it big
'cause all I hear them say is
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
look at me, I belong on a widescreen
forget the talent it's so insignificant"
