Dangers of Instagram culture & vanity in social media

lyrics

CHORUS - MORE OR LES:
You wanna show everything’s a “Go” and never slips,
so you always smile in pics.
You wanna follow a trend and not appear as misfits -
so you always smile in pics.
You wanna hide safe behind a mask and look legit,
that’s why you always smile in pics.
(Keep smiling y’all) x’s 3

VERSE - JESSE DANGEROUSLY:
Chin up. get your good angles. eyes all
lit up. If you feel strangled, all the more
reason to perform for your precious supporters
through the seasonal affective disorder
no one’s trying to see you out here having a wet cry
unless you had a bad breakup, or your pet died.
Anything else keep it locked inside and stay stoic.
Take a photo of a lake with a quote from a gay poet.
Here, use one of mine. sure the sun'll shine.
Burn you outside feeling next to nothing, but numb inside.
Saving up a little something for later,
peace sign, tongue out (AH!), stunting on the haters
such as me and also me, be the change you wanna see.
Photography technology, flawlessly makes apologies
A solid policy - it's important to know
A good photo conceals more than it shows
(hide away)

CHORUS - JESSE:
Make sure the only crack that shows is those lips
(that's why you always smile in pics)
You figure no-one's walked a mile in those kicks
(yeah, that's why you always smile in pics)
Pray for the wind to change so your face could stick
(that's why you always smile in pics)
(Keep smiling y’all) x’s 3

VERSE - LES:
Fours hours steady to practice a selfie.
Can this be healthy? Might make you wealthy,
if you're the corp' runnin' the app, that is. A perfect drug
to get you stuck. Search for love. Get a following of the masses quick,
or find out nobody cares about your whereabouts.
Low Likes on the pic? Just delete it, like it was never out.
More attention-getting with tales of upset and
you just smiling through the adversity,
hiding it like you're supposed to be.
Hashtag: Goals. Best time for you to post
is nine-thirty A.M. on a weekday. DMs take their toll
when specific randos ask you for booty pics.
You say "no," you're a snooty prick tease.
They hope you get a disease.
But you might have one already: a giant urge to receive
adoration. But most don't see it as an aberration,
just a validation for all the work put in to be a trend.
Take a break from views, we might be able to see again.

CHORUS - LES AND JESSE:
You wanna show everything’s a “Go” and never slips,
so you always smile in pics.
you figure no-one's walked a mile in those kicks
(yeah, that's why you always smile in pics)
You wanna hide safe behind a mask and look legit,
that’s why you always smile in pics.
(Keep smiling y’all) x’s 3
