Industry Standard

Do whatever it takes
And throw your innocence away
Anything to be on the stage
Do whatever it takes
Throw your beliefs down the drain
We don’t want those here why won’t you just listen to me
Just make them fall in love
The real you ain’t enough
Spill out your artistic blood
You’re not beautiful enough
It’s just the simple stuff
Make sure you fit in the real you is just too much
Live up to the standards
And part your hair this way
Put make up on so they can’t see that you’re flawed in any way
I said people have to like you
Oh people have to love you
People have to think you’re everything and they could marry you one day
Just make them fall in love
The real you ain’t enough
Spill out your artistic blood
You’re not beautiful enough
It’s just the simple stuff
Make sure you fit in the real you is just too much
We want people to love you when you do good
We want people to hate you when you mess up
We want people to worship the ground you walk on
Just loving you is not enough
We want people to love you when you do good
We want people to hate you when you walk through the door
We want people to kill themselves when you say you won’t perform anymore
It’s the industry
It’s the industry
It’s the industry
It’s the industry
Just listen to me
Love me
