Me, Uncorporated
And so I see all these people
 Who tell me with their eyes
 I’m not the one they fantasize about
 Not the one that they see in the movies
 I got no groove
 I am not smooth
 But I won’t live in your jealous dreams
 This is me
 
 Taking off the itchy makeup
 Keeping on
 All the clothes I can get
 What I do I do for me
 Not for your slut heels
 Think they make you taller?
 This is me
 Towering over all your jealous dreams
 This is my dream
 
 And so I hear all your people
 Who come to listen to me
 I am the one they come to see
 Because I’m real
 Because I’m me
 
 But while I’m up here in the clouds
 I can’t help but taste the cotton candy
 Not too long ago
 The sweet is sweet
 But not for long
 And so I wrote another song
 About how this ends
 
 Now I sing to all the people
 Who come to listen to me
 I’m not the one they came to see
 For you see
 They came to see their reflection in the mirror
 
 I put down my microphone
 Head back to the car, alone
 Wish I could drive 
 But I’m only fifteen
 
 I want to touch people’s lives
 And one day I strive to be more than a mirror
 
 And so I see all these people
 Who tell me with their eyes
 I’m not the one they fantasize about
 Not the one that they see in the movies
 But I got my own groove
 And even if I’m not smooth
 I won’t live in your jealous dreams
 I’ll just be me
