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…
