Best of [bad word] intentions
Finding what they fail to mention
No [bad word]  all pretension
Raise your hand to get attention

You give it, we take it
You build it, we break it
You sign and we erase it
You feel it, we fake it

It's my red star, stealing
It's my red star, I can't let go
It's my red star, concealing
It's my red star, oh no

Wasted education
Celebrating imitation
Misplaced admiration
Speaking for a generation

You give it, we take it
You build it, we break it
You sign and we erase it
You feel it, we fake it

It's my red star, stealing
It's my red star, I can't let go
It's my red star, concealing
It's my red star, oh no
