He's everywhere but yet so hard to see
The anonymous Mr. Popularity
Says everything right but yet so hard to believe
Plastic personality
Momentary importance in the place to be
Ride the wave of attraction
Monetary indulgence to fulfill a need
Disposable icon

More money than brains
Wallet's got growing pains
Tomorrow he's a big ordeal to the mindlessness of mass appeal
Here today then gone away
The things we'll do to make him stay
Mind to steal, a game to play
Plastic personality

He's today's flash and tomorrow's waste
Leaving nothing but a good corpse and a bad taste
Following fled with equal haste
Not just a popularity contest but a human race
Out of love and straight into hell like a rabid dog chasing his own tail
Fighting the rumours tooth and nail
Now they don't miss even the smallest detail
And you wish they could forget you
Now they'll never forget you

More money than brains
Wallet's got growing pains
Tomorrow he's a big ordeal to the mindlessness of mass appeal
Here today then gone away
The things we'll do to make him stay
Mind to steal, a game to play
