Could someone help me comprehend
How my wanting to have friends is now this monster that I feed
It's popularity I need
When people think that I'm the deal
It helps me feel like I am real
But I think I lost the me looking for the star machine
I don't want any part of it

Everything is.
Here today, gone tomorrow
Big star machine
Ricky Martin or Menudo
Big star machine
VH1 where are they followed
Big star machine
How could I have been so shallow
Big, big star machine
Big, big star machine
Big, big star machine

Could someone help me comprehend
How I came to judge my friends on a scale of trendiness
And somehow I love them less
Not as hip as they could be
Through the eyes of star machine
It's a dumb philosophy to judge my popularity
I don't want any part of it

Everything is
Here today, gone tomorrow
Big star machine
Ricky Martin or Menudo
Big star machine
VH1 where are they followed
Big star machine
How could I have been so shallow
Big, big star machine
Big, big star machine
Big, big star machine

Everything is
Here today, gone tomorrow
Big star machine
Ricky Martin or Menudo
Big star machine
VH1 where are they followed
Big star machine
How could I have been so shallow
Big, big star machine
Big, big star machine
Big, big star machine
Big, big star machine
Big, big star machine
