Who Cares?

Plate out their pride
And unveil their vanity
Always working to ensure 
They assert their own insanity

Presently the proud parents
Of validation-needing offspring
Perfection for just one month?
Does that even mean anything?

Sticker on their car says "Honor Roll"
But doing nothing for something can take its toll
Sit back, relax, but make sure everyone's aware
All eyes on them to see who cares

Voice their own brand of colorful vomit
And throw up their hands in disgust
Remind us again why they think they're above it
Then try hiding the fact that they also rust

Bare-knuckle box with knowledge
And argue they came out on top
Detest logic backed up by detailed data
And for the love of God don't ever stop!

Stamp on the meat says "Grade 'A' Beef"
But doing nothing for something can find no relief
Sit back, relax, but make sure everyone's aware
All eyes on them to see who cares

Fifteen minutes of fabulous fame
That grew into a grotesque game
Finally at the top of what's still the bottom
Arguing that they're better than "them"

Strut their stuff and politely curtsy
Then act like their shit doesn't reek
Display that pearly white fallacy
And convince the world attention isn't what they seek

Plaque on the wall says "Most Valuable Player"
But doing nothing for something can start to wear
Sit back, relax, but make sure everyone's aware
All eyes on them to see who cares

Help yourself to some self help books
And continue ignoring the mess of dirty looks
A sultry shamble of shifty crooks
With too much already to know what they took

God's gifts to the world
Or so they'd like you to believe
A world without them
Would be impossible to conceive

With the title of "Entitled" they'll all agree
That "Everyone needs to know about me!
I am right! Hear me roar!"
Blind to a world that doesn't care anymore

Tombstone says "The Dopest Fool There Ever Was!"
Died doing nothing for something just because
Lie back, relax, because we're all now aware
All eyes on them, but who cares?
