Face Value - With the Punches

Safe to say that

You missed the point

Of all your favorite lines

You don’t stand for anything at all

Rather than take the time

To learn to do it right

Just sell yourself and lie

Because to you it’s all the same

If your only claim to fame

Is the names you drop

Your word’s not worth

The breath it took to

Spit it out

From the clothes you wear

To the car you drive

To the company you keep

They’re all just worthless commodities

Hear what you’re telling me

But I’m not everybody else

We’ve seen it all before

We’re not impressed

But what did you expect

All the nights spent searching for

New ways to seem more interesting

And it’s all just gleaned from magazines

Of someone else’s life

Find your own personality

A heavy dose of humility

And you might not be a joke

To everyone around you

You’re so «this year»

Where will the trend stop

I’m not everybody else

I’ve seen this all before
