Hey, would you like to look outside sometimes?
I'm just with my friends online and there's things we'd like to change
Next thing you'll find you're reading about yourself on a plane, fame, what a shame! (oh)
Well, just keep looking, looking, looking

And love me (yeah)
If that's what you wanna do (oh, yeah)
And love me (yeah)
If that's what you wanna do (oh, yeah)

You've been reading about yourself on a plane, fame for a change
Caught up in fashion, Karcrashian panache and a bag of bash for passion
You've got a beautiful face but got nothing to say (oh)
You look famous, let's be friends and portray we possess something important
And do the things we'd like

We've just come to represent a decline in the standards of what we accept
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah?
No!

And love me (yeah)
If that's what you wanna do (oh, yeah)
And love me (yeah)
If that's what you wanna do (oh, yeah)

Oh so sack off your calendar, give it to the people
Be the man that gets them up on their feet
Say oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

And love me (yeah)
And love me (yeah)
If that's what you wanna do (oh, yeah)
