How to Be Flawless in a Lot of Difficult Steps (Or Just One Easy One)
Get perfect grades
Have perfect hair
Have the best clothes
And always beware
Of those nasty emotions
That prove that you’re not
Exactly as flawless
As everyone thought.
Make sure you don’t show
The bad things you think
Don’t let anything out
Even when on the brink
Of a psychotic breakdown
And when you go mad
Remember the good times
You think that you had
Make everyone love you
Make lots of money
Drive fast cars
Act like everything’s sunny
Pretend to be loyal
But stick a knife in their spine
Don’t bother with honesty
Lies work just fine
But maybe, just maybe
That’s not what you do
Perhaps to be flawless
You just be you
Why try to be perfect
Be yourself, tried and true
‘Cause who’s to say perfect
Isn’t trying to be you?
