Ft. Megan Fleming Lyrics * be sure to give this video a thumbs up jk who are we kidding "Don't Believe Everything You See" Verse 1 One time I made a DIY facial mask, And I almost burned my face off Because someone on TV said, That soft skin is what's "beautiful" these days, One time I saw an R-rated movie, And like 20 people got killed and it didn't even affect me, I guess I've seen it all a million times, I guess I've become desynthesized Chorus Don't believe everything you see, The media's not like reality x2 Verse 2 This one time, I wore some really high heels, And they gave me like 3 blisters. But i refused to take them off, Because I heard they attract the Mr.'s And also one time, my friend showed me a music video, I wasn't really sure what the meaning of the song was, But there were illegal substances and strange dancing... (Repeat chorus) Bridge I'm trying to get you to understand, You gotta take it all with a grain of sand, Question what you see, And know which sources to believe (Chorus) Don't let it take over you Don't let it take over you Even though corporations like Disney own like everything (look it up), Don't let it take over you
