You want to seem better than you really are,

You’re playing a hero,

You’re playing a superstar.



You make a parade of your inner platitude

And believe you’re an actor

That struck the right attitude.



And all of your friends and admirers

Marvel at your new trendy getup.

Your fans click the ‘like’ button on your pix

And tell you you’re sexy!



Laugh your head off

Or wail like a banshee,

Don’t you think it’ll make you cool?

You’re just what you are...

So whom are you trying to fool

Here under the Sun?



You want to appear wiser than you really are...

You like to seem grown-up,

But that really looks bizzare.



(you just want to seem...

Just want to...)



You copy your habits from the characters you know,

You think you are special,

You think that you steal the show.



And all of your friends and admirers

Marvel at your new trendy hairdo.

Your fans click the ‘like’ button on your pix

And tell you you’re sexy!



Smile your lips off

Or howl like a jackal,

Don’t you think it’ll make you cool?

You’re just what you are...

So whom are you trying to fool

Under the Sun? So...

Laugh your head off

Or wail like a banshee,

Don’t you think it’ll make you cool?

You’re just what you are...

So whom are you trying to fool

Here under the Sun?



Such a curse to know that you’re common,

So hard to find you are trite,

It takes all your time to seem special

All day and all night.



So damn weird to feel that you’re banal,

And your life achievements are none,

Yet you keep fooling yourself here

Under the Sun!



Smile your lips off

Or howl like a jackal,

Don’t you think it’ll make you cool?

You’re just what you are...

So whom are you trying to fool

Under the Sun? So...

Laugh your head off

Or wail like a banshee,

Don’t you think it’ll make you cool?

You’re just what you are...

So whom are you trying to fool

Here under the Sun?



Under the sun... 

Under the sun... 

The sun... The sun... x2



You want to seem better, 

though you never try to be...



you never try to be...
