This Narcissism Thing

Two epidemics that are interacting which each other
One is the loneliness, and the other is narcissism
I believe narcissicm has gone from something
That people had and you could stay away from them
To something closer to an epidemic
And I think social media has done that
What I've learned about this narcissicm thing

I used to think it was people who thought they were great
Thought they were great, thought they werе great
I used to think it was peoplе who thought they were great
This narcissism thing
It's not about people thinking they're great, thinking they're great
It's about people who have broken self esteem
Just completely broken

And the way they deal their broken self-esteem
Is by belittling other people
Or one upping them, bragging, putting them down
Shutting them down, thwarting them in any way you can
Now, I used to look at that people because they're everywhere
But man, are there more of that? There are, right?
And I think its because people who might have been
Sort of on the border in that way
Just got pushed over the edge by social media

I used to think it was people who thought they were great
Thought they were great, thought they were great
I used to think it was people who thought they were great
This narcissism thing
It's not about people thinking they're great, thinking they're great
It's about people who have broken self esteem
Just completely broken

Imagine living in a world where everybody is criticising
Everybody for everything
That's our world, we live in a world where everybody
Is criticising everybody for everything
Imagine that
How would you like to be a teenager and be criticised on everything
That shirt you wore that one day
That embarrassing thing you did just once, but somebody saw it
But you're not as pretty or as handsome or as strong
Or as good at sports as this other person
It's gotta be devastating, devastating
And there's just more of it because it's in your face
And you are seeing the impossible images of people
Who you want to be like, but you're not etcetera

I used to think it was people who thought they were great
Thought they were great, thought they were great
I used to think it was people who thought they were great
This narcissism thing
It's not about people thinking they're great, thinking they're great
It's about people who have broken self esteem
Just completely broken

I used to think it was people who thought they were great
Thought they were great, thought they were great
I used to think it was people who thought they were great
This narcissism thing
It's not about people thinking they're great, thinking they're great
It's about people who have broken self esteem
Just completely broken
