FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH Plastic people, mannequins walking, Cant hear whats said for all their talking, Its all about me, its all about me, me, me. Nothing real, everyones faking Who they are, as youth disappears, Its unclear who they intend to be. Photoshop and pop my picture up on the wall Autotune my voice until its not me at all, Stretch me here and tuck me there, Botox me cause I dont care, Dont forget to straighten my tooth, I want a fountain of youth. There aint no fountain of youth, There aint fountain of youth, No matter what you may do, There aint no fountain of youth. All the fans gossip with envy, Believing myths and worked to a frenzy, Its all about me, its all about me, me, me, Vicariously living as echoes Of the idols hung in their hearts, Gone too far, theyll never be set free. Surgery, regurgitating, diets, and fads, Overnight sensations like a flash in the pan, Make me Barbie, make me Ken, Suck my fat out, make me thin, Make a lie and cover the truth, I want a fountain of youth. There aint no fountain of youth, There aint fountain of youth, No matter what you may do, There aint no fountain of youth. Dont get me wrong, I wish my wrinkles would all disappear, Id like the waistline of my teenage years. But time moves on and gravity pulls, And if we deny it were only fools, And while we chase our yesterdays, Today will quickly pass away too soon. There aint no fountain of youth, There aint fountain of youth, No matter what you may do, There aint no fountain of youth. (C) John Ray, January 19, 2014
