The role models of today, the people we display On our television shows and the like just portray The worst traits in people, that hurting and hating people Carries no consequence and it's okay to betray Fashions come and go, we're led blindly and follow Those we look up to, we do as they do Whether it's dressing as they dress or acting like them And trust me they are acting, none of it's true They influence our everyday lives as they pass If monogamy doesn't work for them then why should it for me So she cheated on her boyfriend and now she's rich and pretty It worked out fairly good there, so I guess if I don't care F*ck around, play games, mess with their heads for personal gains So long as I'm alright hey? And a long chain of hurt and pain is all that remains But we've done this to ourselves! On the TV, internet, magazines, papers We elevate these so-called entertainers, we're the ones doing them favours By watching them, when they've been setup on TV for us to mock them We should stop them, the rich and powerful out yachting and island hopping Whilst their shows make millions out of people stuck on TV crying and sobbing Put in front of a panel of four people, they dreamed of this moment it's everything so it's lethal When those four people sat on their high horses, laugh and mock them for fucks sake it's evil Set them up to knock them down, publicly humiliate them and beat them to the ground But what does everyone care? So long as you've had a laugh whilst you were there So what if that persons life is in tatters, everything they ever wanted was crushed and shattered So long as you were sat on your couch at home with a takeaway laughing on your own The fact that person was made fun of, bullied, mocked then what else matters Have we no empathy, no sympathy, maybe if that was your son or daughter it would factor Behind these failed attempts are people that have rightly or wrongly encouraged them Some believed in what they could do, some deceived them so they could laugh and be cruel It's painful, watching someone on stage being ridiculed, told they're terrible, useless, verbally abused They've been used, these shows know what they're doing, they know how to keep people amused Put yourself in their shoes, how it is to be judged, no hiding behind those damning reviews Trying to make it, you're older now, got a family and don't know how much more you can take it Returning to work on Monday in your 9-5, a laughing stock and back to the grind The dream didn't come true, in fact, it turned sour, and now a bitter taste left in their mouth Doubting all those around, for letting them get up, setting them up to fail that was all that it was about, Did you watch it? Laugh at it? Share it? Then you've played a part But I hope these words will make you listen to your heart, it's not that hard Turn off the TV, leave the screen, treat others as you would want to be It seems we've forgotten so many lessons that as a kid were drilled into me But we can change and be so much better, that I guarantee I'm dreaming, believing I'm in this nightmare getting chased Getting braced for something bad Something had now better get me just to wake me up Oh I'm dreaming We're bringing kids up on tablets and phones way too young Their lives are controlled online and can't be undone I hope they will learn to talk and meet in person, connect with each other For a story of true friendship never started like this Remember that time we connected online, I would comment regularly on your life Years went by, didn't need to meet, just saw it on my news feed Nah don't remember that, well neither do I So when did you last laugh with a friend until you cried Was it online, on Skype, over phone or Facetime Or were you actually there to see the veins appear on their head As they howled went red embarrassed and repeating what you'd said Making them laugh so hard you kept cracking up every time you'd move on the conversation To the point you're both losing the plot and letting yourselves run away with your imagination Those moments are special can't be bought they bond you, belong to just the two of you Remind you you've got a friend who gets you, predicts you, knows you Presses your buttons just right to get the best out of you and make you look a fool In a good way, and keep you grinning whether you're winning or in a bad way on a crap day They'll be there for you, have your back and say the right things to make it all better Hell, I'm telling you, I have never felt that from a 100 character pm on messenger I'm dreaming, believing I'm in this nightmare getting chased Getting braced for something bad Something had now better get me just to wake me up Oh I'm dreaming
