Horror movie beauty queen
Killed off in the second scene
Voice shakes when I try to speak
So don't cast me for anything
Can't make a name for myself
Can't make him love me back
But I could break apart a BIC razor in 20 seconds flat
They don't know I'm skipping dinner
My friends say I'm looking thinner
Suck it in, baby, smile for the picture
I just wanna break the mirror
Lights, camera, action
More energy, more passion
You want me if I'm made of plastic
Places, everybody
Look like the perfect family
None of us are any good at actin'
And I might be faking a smile
But I'm not your American idol
I don't fit right in your box, and I don't fit right in my jeans
My clothes aren't cool enough, and I hate every word I sing
If you looked behind the curtain, would you not like what you see
If I said I wanna end it all, would you put it on TV
They don't know my brain is abusive
(I'm not cool, they hate my music)
The door is closed, but the thoughts are intrusive
And I just wanna fuckin' lose it
Lights, camera, action
More energy, more passion
You want me if I'm made of plastic
Places, everybody
Look like the perfect family
None of us are any good at actin'
And I might be faking a smile
But I'm not your American idol
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ahhh
Lights, camera, action
More energy, more passion
You want me if I'm made of plastic
Places, everybody
Look like the perfect family
None of us are any good at actin'
And I might be faking a smile
But I'm not your American idol
Oh, oh, oh, oh
American idol
