Big Star Machine

Could someone help me comprehend 
How my wanting to have friends 
Is now this monster that I feed 
It's popularity I need 
When people think that I'm the deal 
It helps me feel like I am real 
But I think I lost the me 
Looking for the star machine 

I don't want any part of it 
Everything is here today gone tomorrow

VHl "where are they?" 
Follows big star machine 
How could I have been so shallow

Could someone help me comprehend 
How I came to judge my friends 
On a scale of trendiness 
And somehow I love them less 
Not as hip as they could be 
Through the eyes of star machine 
It's a dumb philosophy 
To judge by popularity 
I don't want any part of it everything is 

Here today gone tomorrow
