Lighten up,
They say
We don't want to hear it
Let's talk about fashion
Paris Hilton
Pretty pink butterflies
Let's be happy and laugh
So what that children are starving?
We don't care
What happened on Survivor last night?
Was the cute guy kicked off?
No don't tell me!
Let's create a virtual world
Where all is happy and light and plastic
Don't tell us about the wars,
The lies,
The poverty.
Let us escape from reality!
But what is reality?
Popsicles and laundry and stoplights
Cell phones and toothbrushes
Such depth, such significance,
Such hardship
No wonder you need to escape!
Well, I should stop before I ruin your day,
Or god forbid, make you think
You can run away
You can live in the world of rainbows and fairies
Far away from anything of any importance
Omg, that shirt is so cute!
Don't try to make a difference
Don't try to change a world
Just have fun, be happy, eat cotton candy
Run away
Run far, far away
But when you find yourself searching for meaning
You can come back
I'll be waiting
