Story Behind The Song

I see how everyone is on prescription medication, they have plastic surgery and have to have the best of everything to keep up the front without being themselves. We are all guilty of trying to please others and I'm trying to make fun of it and say, I don't want to be this way. Be yourself. It has too much control of us and we should be happy with what we have given because you really don't need approval from anyone else.

Song Description

Making people aware that we're all consumed by the media's portrayal that we need to be perfect and do things to make other people like us and compromise our values. That everyone is guilty of these things and we should just be content with ourselves.

Lyrics

Uh oh uh oh
Wanna be a-ddicted
Material carnival
Material carnival
Wanna be a-ddicted

CHORUS:
I don't wanna be wanna be addicted
I don't wanna be wanna be a Barbie doll
Now I wanna be wanna be evicted
From this psycho crazy ego twisted world right now

VERSE 1:
We've got plastic cards and silicone
Diamonds prada got it all
Mocha latte extra tall
Material carnival
Addicted to perfection
There's no limits get 'er done
Takin' care of number one
Gotta beat the competition

B SECTION:
Is it worth it to lose yourself
Why are you tryin' to be something for somebody else
And it's so twisted what we do to ourselves
I'm just as guilty just as guilty as everyone else

CHORUS:
I don't wanna be wanna be addicted
I don't wanna be wanna be a Barbie doll
Now I wanna be wanna be evicted
From this psycho crazy ego twisted world right now

VERSE 2:
Comatose and feelin' numb
Got no heart like the tin man
What a mess have I become
Time to cancel all prescriptions

Brainwashed with all these lies
We give it up and compromise
No refund you get no prize
You're left with nothing, nothing
REPEAT B PART AND CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Lose control - Lose control
Material carnival
Lose control - Lose control
Material carnival

REPEAT B PART AND CHORUS
