Lyrics
Today, we have realized that life can be shallow
When you aim to please King Society
Walking with pride in a 10K designer outfit
Seeking countless eyes of curiosity
We are putting a masquerade on
Buying countless drinks for a smile or for a friend
Look at me, look at me everyone
Writhing in glamour, with no limits
King Society
Secret Society
Look at Us, That's Check
Better Than You, Checkmate
By the way, when you are working 40 hours next week
We will call you from the Caribbean yacht
A week in the trendy tropical island
For frozen drinks, facelifts, and fillers
King Society
Secret Society
Look at Us, That's Check
Better Than You, Checkmate
We are truly sorry that you have those miserable jobs
Working countless hours for that square that you live in
In a row of dominos that you call "Home, Sweet Home"
I hate that you are so common, so bland, so vanilla
King Society
Secret Society
Look at Us, That's Check
Better Than You, Checkmate
We have realized that life can be shallow
When you aim to please King Society
For we do not know ourselves, not at all
We are 10K designer outfits in shiny cars
Our status and soul is our toys
Whatever that may be
Oh life, you can be so shallow
Yes life, we can be so shallow
King Society
Secret Society
Look at Us, That's Check
Better Than You, Checkmate
