[verse]
G Bm Cmaj7
Well, I’m disgraced every time a face doesn’t look at me.
G Bm Cmaj7
Trying to find my place in a world where everybody’s a celebrity.
Em
I’ve been commended, I’ve been coddled.
G Cmaj7
I’ve pretended I’m a model for most of my life.
Em A D7
This is a different world than the one in which you grew up.
[verse]
G Bm Cmaj7
I’m going to scatter my photos from a plane and let them rain over you.
G Bm Cmaj7
Everybody gets a copy and a print out of everything I’m up to.
Em
My name is gonna be famous
G
You can’t blame us, you can’t shame us.

This is what we were taught.

This is a different world than the one in which you grew up.

[verse]

You’re invited to a party and you better dress smartly so the pictures are good.
G Bm Cmaj7
We’re editing our memories and we only keep the cool ones, that’s understood.

Are the pictures of the party?

Is the party for the pictures?

It doesn’t matter to me.
Em A D7
This is a different world than the one in which you grew up.
