"For The Camera"

be a model
or just look like one,
your every passing moment
is immortalized forever
for security purposes

try the shirt on - for the camera
check the mirror - for the camera
make it pretty - for the camera
and smile

everywhere you go the satellite
can see the color of your eyes
and everywhere you drive
the CIA can read your license plate

you think that you're alone,
well maybe sometimes you're alone
but then you never really know
so just be sure you're looking great

fix your makeup - for the camera
kiss your darling - for the camera
look excited - for the camera
and smile

draw the curtain - for the camera
take your clothes off - for the camera
turn the light out - for the camera
and smile

every moment of your life
somewhere, somebody will rewind it
and replay it super slow-mo
with an eye toward form and content

and you think that you're alone
well maybe sometimes you're alone
but then you never really know
so just make sure you look innocent

bear your children - for the camera
wide and open - for the camera
make it pretty - for the camera
and smile

check the mirror - for the camera
fake expressions - for the camera
look convincing - for the camera
and smile

break the window - for the camera
look defiant - for the camera
make it pretty - for the camera
and smile

paranoia - for the camera
look around you - for the camera
feel much better - for the camera
and smile

for the camera
