starla (story of exploitation) lyrics
[verse 1]
petals make me cry
and they see it in my eyes
but they keep throwing roses at my feet
they want entertainment don’t give a d+mn about me
i’m a superstar so they don’t empathize
not in your reach, so you dehumanize
and those who pity me only do it cause they idolize
if they didn’t like my work, they’d let me die
[chorus]
i’m a product of the public
and the public’s favorite product
they say if you don’t like it, grow some thicker skin
i’m the public’s favorite product
and a product of the public
you made me, yet you don’t like to see me win
[post+chorus]
it’s not fair
but it’s okay cause i have it all
[verse 2]
the people you look up to the most
are getting death threats sent to their front door
sometimes on paper, sometimes holding a knife
sometimes digital, sometimes in real life
go k!ll myself? is that what you want?
never set a solid goal, so it’s never enough
i had a worry that i take too much
and you confirmed it, you said it’s too late to back up
[chorus]
i’m a product of the public
and the public’s favorite product
they say if you don’t like it, grow some thicker skin
i’m the public’s favorite product
and a product of the public
you made me, yet you don’t like to see me win
[post+chorus]
it’s not fair
but it’s okay cause i have it all
i’m big but you make me feel small
you make my money and make all the calls
but somehow you want me to fall
it’s okay cause i have it all
i’m big but you make me feel small
you make my money and make all the calls
but somehow you want me to fall
[verse 3]
i see my name in the news and the photo shows me crying
even when i’m offstage, i feel everybody’s eyes and
petals make me cry, petals make me cry
i wish the roses would just wilt and die
i see my name in the news and the photo shows me crying
even when i’m offstage, i feel everybody’s eyes and
petals make me cry, petals make me cry
i wish the roses would just wilt and die
[chorus]
i’m a product of the public
and the public’s favorite product
they say if you don’t like it, grow some thicker skin
i’m the public’s favorite product
and a product of the public
you made me, yet you don’t like to see me win
[outro]
it’s not fair
but it’s okay cause i have it all
i’m big but you make me feel small
you make my money and make all the calls
but somehow you want me to fall
you want me to fall
