Why do you think people care

about what you wear,

and what you look like.

I thought it was what's on the inside,

not out

so what is this all about?

 

People so consumed with the in-crowd,

so many kids proud of smoking loud

what is this

what has this world come to?

What is this?

Why do you all do what you do?

 

Don't y'all know that there is a whole world out there?

So why waste your time with the stupid things everywhere.

I'll never know why people care about what you wear

or what you look like more than everything you have on the inside.

 

is this not ridiculous?

Beauty is only skin deep, and

looks are only temporary.

Which do you care about most?
