I'm overdressed for success
In a world that has no shame
I've had enough of seeing love
Being played like some game
I know why the good old days are gone
Cause everyone just tolerates whats wrong
I'm not some empty space for rent
I wanna be innocent
Yours wholeheartedly
Innocent
Every part of me
Take me back so I can see
The way that love was meant to be
Boys and girls
The real world
Is one that's filled with consequence
And all the lies that glamorize
It's a life that's broken
I see why the good old days are gone
Every time I turn my TV on
What's wrong with being different
Buried underneath this avalanche
You are my hope and second chance
Don't let my heart get away
Things have certainly changed a lot even within the last 10 years. Sometimes I thought that I was 17 years old like just 2 or 3 years ago!
Commercialism (an attitude that emphasizes tangible profit or success - from Dictionary.com) is everywhere nowadays thanks to the efficient and effective means of communication that we get to enjoy.
The world sometimes tell us that we need to have this or that to be cool, rich, happy, safe, etc. If we don't, others may think that we are weird. When we are weird, then we may not have a lot of "friends".
I don't know how, but I wish that people will not be too busy looking for all these temporary things. Let's go back to basic. L. O. V. E. The love that God has showed and still is showing to us.
It is not easy to love, is it? We are selfish and we want to please ourselves only. Would this world be a better place if we all love each other?
Have a listen to this song because it is catchy and the video is hilarious =)
