Reality Mentality Lyrics

Joan Jett & The Blackhearts Reality Mentality

Wanna be a star
Well, just lower the bar
Humiliation becomes routine
What you're playin' out on your TV screen, yeah

You say, "Hey, look at me" (Hey, look at me)
But fame is tricky
Competing for a post on the gossip blogs
Uppin' the ante for celebutante

Reality mentality (reality mentality) Whoa
Reality mentality (reality mentality) Whoa
Did you look today?
You can't look away, ow
It's gettin' shticky out there
Now it's buyer beware
Stone machinery is employed
You say, "Hey, enjoy the show of Schadenfreude"

It's reality mentality (reality mentality) Whoa
Reality mentality (reality mentality) Whoa
Did you look today?
You can't look away, ow

It's demeaning
Needs depleting
Dramatize and stylize for the pride
Of fame and misfortune, a guise of life

You live reality mentality (reality mentality) Whoa
Reality mentality (reality mentality) Whoa
Reality mentality
Reality mentality
Reality mentality
Reality mentality, whoa
