Lyrics
Pretty little smile Pretty little lie Build another personality For whoever walks by Plastic people. You change your face To fit the room Borrow a smile Borrow a truth Laugh too loud Say what they say Anything To make them stay New best friend Every night New enemy By morning light You call it charm I call it need You feed on every soul you meet You want the light— But can't create it Want the love— So you imitate it Every good thing That you touch You find a way To fuck it up PLASTIC PEOPLE PLASTIC SMILES Manufactured personalities Changing all the time Take and take Till nothing's left Then blame somebody else Every piece-of-shit bully Eventually meets themselves Spit your poison Waste your breath We're still fucking standing yet You can't kill What you can't fake REAL PEOPLE REAL CONNECTION That's the energy we make You take— WE MAKE You break— WE CREATE Good people Doing their best Already carrying Enough on their chest Showing up Giving a damn Helping somebody Whenever they can Then you arrive Dragging your storm Turning kindness Into war Sucking the life Out of everything good Just because You fucking could We know the game We know the faces Different names Same damn hatred You thought breaking Someone's spirit Would somehow Make you strong You were wrong. PLASTIC PEOPLE PLASTIC SMILES Manufactured personalities Changing all the time Take and take Till nothing's left Then blame somebody else Every piece-of-shit bully Eventually meets themselves Spit your poison Waste your breath We're still fucking standing yet You can't kill What you can't fake REAL PEOPLE REAL CONNECTION That's the energy we make Here's the part You never learned Good people Don't stay broken Every scar Becomes a lesson Every lie Leaves something open We find each other Piece by piece No fake smiles No make-believe You built your world By tearing down We built ours By reaching out One voice One spark Then another Strangers become friends Friends start lifting One another You pushed us down We fucking rose You spread your poison— Now everybody knows FUCK YOUR POISON FUCK YOUR GAMES Fuck the hundred different faces Hiding underneath your name You take and take WE GIVE IT BACK Not the hate— THE GOOD YOU LACK Every person You tried breaking Came back A little stronger Every time You tried dividing us WE PULLED EACH OTHER CLOSER You can't fake this You can't buy it You can't bully it away REAL PEOPLE REAL CONNECTION POSITIVE ENERGY THAT'S HOW WE FUCKING WIN You take— WE MAKE You break— WE CREATE You hate— WE CONNECT And we're not finished yet Pretty little smile Pretty little lie Keep building personalities... We'll build a fucking life.
