Curtain Call

I know how much your new toys cost,
Cause you've told me a million times.
I know how popular you think you'll be
When you feed them the same stale lines.

I know you need more people like you.
Someone like me is only good for hired help.
You express concern if it makes you look good,
And when you're surrounded by folks like yourself.

You're cute when you think I listen,
It's precious when you think I care,
You think the world is in your hands,
When in reality you have no one there.

So drop the guise of sophistication.
This mask of perfection will surely fall.
Just quit trying to fake it.
We know your performance won't make it
When it comes time for your curtain call.

There's a reason your old days are over.
Now we're in the modern age.
The spotlight is on, it's time for a bow--
And you're not the only one on this stage.
