Could someone help me comprehend how my wanting to have friends
   Is now this monster that I feed, it's popularity I need
   When people think that I'm the deal
   It helps me feel like I am real
   But I think I lost the me looking for the star machine
   I don't want any part of it
   Everything is
  
   Here today
   Gone tomorrow
   Big star machine
   Ricky Martin or menudo
   Big star machine
   VH1 "where are they?" follows
   Big star machine
   How could I have been so shallow
   Big big star machine
  
   Could someone help me comprehend
   How I came to judge my friends
   On a scale of trendiness
   And somehow I love them less
   Not as hip as they could be
   Through the eyes of star machine
   It's a dumb philosophy to judge by popularity
   I don't want any part of it
   Everything is
  
   Here today
   Gone tomorrow
   Big star machine
   Ricky Martin or menudo
   Big star machine
   VH1 "where are they?" follows
   Big star machine
   How could I have been so shallow
   Big big star machine
