The Influencer versuri

The Influencer lyrics by The Itch Band

Verse 1
What a beautiful life
If you could give me one bit of advice
What would it be?
Right place, right time, right mentality
You make it look so easy
What a beautiful life
You take a picture of yourself
Like you’re making a movie, it’s so orchestrated
And you wipe away the bad dreams
Colour in some self-esteem
Hiding all the make-believe

Chorus
But does it need an audience to thrive?
Is it political performance?
Some kind of dance to stay alive?
To keep justifying your way of lifе
To keep us in line
To keep us in line

Verse 2
What a beautiful lifе
You’re looking at me from the cover of a magazine
Like you’re up on Mount Olympus
Looking down on Hercules
What a beautiful life
No poverty, no strife
No famine, no war, no climate disaster
Unless it’s on a practical slide for your followers
An aside to keep the wolves at bay

Outro
And meanwhile, I’m on the underground
And it smells damp and everyone looks sad
And there’s such a disconnect between
What I see on the internet and what I see on the streets
The influencers are coming after me
Trying to sell me a dream
Trying to sell me a dream
Trying to sell me a dream
Trying to sell me a dream
Trying to sell me a dream
Trying to sell me a dream
Trying to sell me a dream
Trying to sell me a dream
