We put them up on pedestals
Tied the ropes around their necks
Poked and prodded them
Laughed at them
Mocked
Teased
Tortured them
And when they fell
When they jumped
We shook our heads
And asked "What went wrong?"
After all, they had what everybody craves
All the attention in the world
They were so lucky.
They put us up on pedestals
Put ropes around our necks
Poked us
Prodded us
Laughed at us
Mocked and teased us
Tortured us
Most of us jumped
The others fell
And now I watch them shake their heads
Asking "What went wrong?"
After all, I have what everybody craves
All the attention in the world
They put me up on a pedestal
And call me "lucky".
