People with Faces Songtext

von Army of Flying Robots

My new celebrity knowledge will get me through the rest of my time here
It's all I need to know
People with faces more well known than our own
Nothing in the news but there's someone famous
No secret from us
The writing's on the wall like
Gillian Taylforth in a motorway lay-by
So it's a crime but does it merit week's worth of headlines?
Shining homes and smiling faces
Living their lives for everyone to see
Do we really want this
Or want this because it's given?
Does anyone care for anything except fame?
Cats eat birds so they can fly
Living through others instead of our own lives
Just because they're famous should we care if they live or die?
Lives that seem so much better than our own
Why is there a difference?
Same shit, just coated in gold
