lyrics

Even people lost find themselves leaders, too.
She’s dreaming of the day she gets to be like you,
So step it up, little misses, the whole world is watching
The innocent kid you never thought you’d influence.

She’s got a model figure and stride.
A wide-eyed look of open mouth surprise.
Belly ring, glitter wearer, social drinker,
Attitude as rude as her pants are tight.
She’ll tell you, “every girl successful in this man’s world shows just a little skin.”
A regular trend go-getter, influence recipient.
Seducing her way to onstage, oblivious.
Is this display your personality,
or what you think a freaknik shorty’s sure supposed to be?
She’s too far along to call it just a phase,
but secretive enough to not get put in her place.
It’s the deconstructed psyche of the impressionable mind,
The perfect to endorse, sponsor, and advertise to this
Brave new world we’re invades your self confidence and then claims
There’s no merit in discrepencies you find.

Even people lost find themselves leaders, too.
She’s dreaming of the day she gets to be like you,
So step it up, little misses, the whole world is watching
The innocent kid you never thought you’d influence.

Pimp self-recognition, call it “just the way you are”
Beautiful by their expectations, arrogant, and attention-starved.
With stunning eyes, Cleopatra-lined and proud,
But she’s as fake Egyptian as they come, let’s break the mystery down.
The icon you likely follow has no interest in our growth.
Set up for economic gain and product persuasion,
Disguised in makeup to the gullible she’s sold.
And then your body shuts down, so check the ingredients
You use to make all of your aesthetics more obedient.
In this industry that’ll keep you buying back the answers
You could get for free without being victim to cancerous weaponry
Like billboards, award ceremonies, radio, movies, and syndicated shows.
You should know, once it has a hold on your motivation,
It’s not designed to let it go.

Even people lost find themselves leaders, too.
She’s dreaming of the day she gets to be like you,
So step it up, little misses, the whole world is watching
The innocent kid you never thought you’d influence.

She gazes from her window, has for some years.
Admires your pseudo-independence, individ-originality
Like B. Spears, it’s naïve – except to sex.
Princess Christina to C-cup, degrade the small chest.
Thought the past would have my back,
Take examples and set it,
But too many old school goddesses pushing collect calls and cosmetics.
Be your own representative, drop substantial mental numbness
And the social sedative.
It’s a shame B. Knowles couldn’t keep her rep with class.
Barely a pop star who hasn’t shown a little assets.
Let’s get with it, rock this slave ship, we can tip it when we try.

Even people lost find themselves leaders, too.
She was dreaming of the day she got to be like you,
So step it up, little misses, the whole world is watching
The innocent kid she never thought she’d influence was you.
