lyrics

Make sure you get my good side
Airbrush out the white lies
Gotta look my best on the screen
Presenting perfection
Do it for the mentions
Acting like we’re living the dream
Using filters on our faces
Documenting places
We don’t even really enjoy
Cause of some influencer's pro-tip
Can we cut this bullshit
Cause no one knows what’s true anymore

Gimme something real
And while we’re on the subject
Gimme something real
I’ll take anything that’s honest
Gimme something
Gimme something real

Then you turn on the TV
And all it does is repeat
All the news you already know
Cause if the issue’s too complex
Take it out of context
Anything to sell you the show
While politicians banter
Pick a side and pander
Don’t care if they tear us apart
Cause they just want elected
Don’t care what effect it
Has as long as they top the charts
(My fellow Americans)

Gimme something real
And while we’re on the subject
Gimme something real
I’ll take anything that’s honest
Gimme something
Gimme something real

Make sure you get my good side
Make sure you get my good side
Make sure you get my good side

Gimme something real
And while we’re on the subject
Gimme something real
I’ll take anything that’s honest
Gimme something real
And while we’re on the subject
Gimme something real
I’ll take anything that’s honest
Gimme something
Gimme something real
Something real
