superstar
They are the animals
And you are the meat
A piece of flesh for
Their every desire-
Smear it over their faces
And their bodies,
They'll devour you and
Spit you out
Smile `cos they love you,
Don't let them see you cry
They love you then they hate you
But you don't know why
Keep giving them your all
Dance with them on
Your fishbowl stage,
You follow their lead, don't stop
Or you will be
Thrown onto the floor
And they love you then they hate you
But you don't know why
They're the animals
You are the meat,
Caged and under scrutiny
On your fishbowl stage
Give them more circus
Feed them their fill-
Show pony or wall flower,
They won't like you either way
Smear it over their faces
And their bodies,
They'll devour you and
Spit you out
They'll love you then hate you
Keep giving them your all
Live life as their ideal
`Cos you're the meat
Smile `cos they want you to
Don't let them see you cry
You're a superstar,
It's expected of you
