Lyrics

Reality Mentality

Wanna be a star

Well, just lower the bar

Humiliation becomes routine

What you're playin' out on your TV screen, yeah

You say, "Hey, look at me" (Hey, look at me)

But fame is tricky

Competing for a post on the gossip blogs

Uppin' the ante for celebutante

Reality mentality (reality mentality) Whoa

Reality mentality (reality mentality) Whoa

Did you look today?

You can't look away, ow

It's gettin' shticky out there

Now it’s buyer beware

Stone machinery is employed

You say, "Hey, enjoy the show of Schadenfreude"

It's reality mentality (reality mentality) Whoa

Reality mentality (reality mentality) Whoa

Did you look today?

You can't look away, ow

It's demeaning

Needs depleting

Dramatize and stylize for the pride

Of fame and misfortune, a guise of life

You live reality mentality (reality mentality) Whoa

Reality mentality (reality mentality) Whoa

Reality mentality

Reality mentality

Reality mentality

Reality mentality, whoa
