A look at the modern trend of self-absorption, perhaps culminating in the selfie-incrimination at the US Capitol on January 6

lyrics

Selfie By Joe Peters, January 2021

Verse 1
Smile for the camera, take another selfie
Make sure the angle’s just right
Smile for the camera, all the cool kids agree
At the prom you were outta sight

PC
It starts out when you’re young and so naïve

Chorus
The smiles full of vanity
Mouthfuls of profanity
Tiny hearts and heads as big as kings
Worship of the self and all that brings

Verse 2
Smile for the camera, shake your money maker
You put it out there on the web
Smile for the camera, how long did it take ya
To make six figures and never leave the bed?

PC
She lures you in with diamonds up her sleeve

Chorus
The smiles full of vanity
Mouthfuls of profanity
Tiny hearts and heads as big as kings
Worship of the self and all that brings

Verse 3
Smile for the camera, as you attack the nation
Be sure to post it all online
Smile for the camera, selfie-incrimination
You busted yourself this time!

PC
He draws you down the hole till you believe

Chorus
The smiles full of vanity
Mouthfuls of profanity
Tiny hearts and heads as big as kings
Worship of the self and all that brings
Tag
Smile for the camera, take another selfie…
