Akira The Don, Scott Adams - This Narcissism Thing lyrics

Two epidemics that are interacting
Which each other one is the loneliness
And the other is narcissism
I believe narcissicm has gone
From something that people
Had and you could stay away from them
To something closer to an epidemic
And I think social media has done that
What I’ve learned about this narcissicm thing

I used to think it was people who thought
They were great, thought they were great
Thought they werе great
I used to think it was peoplе
Who thought they were great
This narcissism thing
It’s not about people thinking they’re great
Thinking they’re great
It’s about people who have broken self esteem
Just completely broken

And the way they deal
Their broken self-esteem
Is by belittling other people
Or one upping them, bragging, putting
Them down, shutting them down
Thwarting them in any way you can

I used to think it was people who thought
They were great, thought they were great
Thought they were great
I used to think it was people
Who thought they were great
This narcissism thing
It’s not about people thinking they’re great
Thinking they’re great
It’s about people who have broken self esteem
Just completely broken

Imagine living in a world where everybody
Is criticising everybody for everything
That’s our world
We live in a world where everybody
Is criticising everybody for everything
Imagine that how would you like to be a
Teenager and be criticised on everything
That shirt you wore that one day, that
Embarrassing thing you did just once
But somebody saw it
But you’re not as pretty or
As handsome or as strong
Or as good at sports as this other person
It’s gotta be devastating, devastating
And there’s just more of it
Because it’s in your face and you are
Seeing the impossible images of people, who
You want to be like, but you’re not etcetera

I used to think it was people who thought
They were great, thought they were great
Thought they were great
I used to think it was people
Who thought they were great
This narcissism thing
It’s not about people thinking they’re great
Thinking they’re great
It’s about people who have broken self esteem
Just completely broken

I used to think it was people who thought
They were great, thought they were great
Thought they were great
I used to think it was people
Who thought they were great
This narcissism thing
It’s not about people thinking they’re great
Thinking they’re great
It’s about people who have broken self esteem
Just completely broken
