Unimportant

We're unimportant
we just pretend this is a war
We're entertainment
in an hour you'll be bored
no one's the better, dismantle image
we take the path we set the pace
don't call it struggle, if it's a privilege
if it's the dream we choose to chase

self promoting egos won't seem all that impressive no more
once you've reached a higher stage
and they've tumbled back onto the floor

you might invite 'em to all your cities
so they can play their pirate games
they'll fuck you over and ask for pity
they're selling every word but shame
feeding off worship and drunk on power
standing up grace on every date
and if a platform puts them above you
then they don't deserve a stage
tear them right down off that stage

all those heroes are just the lucky fortunate fools
the brightest spot light will never make them better than you

do you have morals? do you have values?
or are they obstacles to fame?
those slimy antics they represent you
your choice to join them on the stage
are you a victim? cos we don't like you?
cowards demur deserved disdain
you're not a victim and I don't like you
and your delusion smears your name
you can fuck off all the same

don't let me be them don't let me be them
don't turn me up don't give me praise
don't ever say I'm worth more of your time
if I shake your hand- without asking your name

all those heroes are just the lucky fortunate fools
the brightest spot light will never make them better than you
if they chase the blinding light how can they lead you to the truth
don't ever follow those who'd never dream of following you
