You walk down the street
Lookin' at yourself in the windows
Fixin' your hair and checkin' your clothes
You think you're the starring role
That we're lucky you've graced our avenue
And all our eyes on you are glued
But breaking news
There's a whole lot more that matters than me and you

Nobody cares and it's a good thing
If you're the toughest, strongest
Richest, smartest, hottest thing in town
Quit all your games and be the real thing
The world needs more than just society livin' for itself
Brains, brawn, looks and cash
In and of itself are not something wrong
A lot of good with them can be done
But kept in your personal world
Are like the sound of a clanging, banging gong
Just your own useless monologue

But breaking news
There's a whole lot more
That matters than me and you
Nobody cares and it's a good thing
If you're the toughest, strongest
Richest, smartest, hottest thing in town
Quit all your games and be the real thing

The world needs more than just society livin' for itself
Find what you love
And do with all you are
Share it with the world
We could use a bit of your heart
Nobody cares and it's a good thing

If you're the toughest, strongest
Richest, smartest, hottest thing in town
Quit all your games and be the real thing
The world needs more than just society livin' for itself
Nobody cares and it's a good thing
Yes, it's a good thing that what matters is what beats inside
Quit all your games and be the real thing
Life is too short to spend it waiting to become alive
