Glossy skin, flashing lights
Selling youth in perfect lines
Every mirror says the same
Stay forever, stay the same

The Substance on the screen, polished lie
Like a portrait you can’t deny
A billboard glow you can’t outrun
Smile wide till the damage is done

At first I played along with the joke
Little laughs at the lines they spoke
But somewhere deep in the middle frame
The laughter didn’t feel the same

I was laughing with it, then I laughed at it
Something flipped and I can’t get past it
Shiny surface, cracking fast
How long do you think this lasts?

I was laughing with it, then I laughed at it
Beauty bends till it snaps like plastic
If this is youth, I’ll take the cost
‘Cause everything perfect’s already lost

Camera lingers just a little too long
Like it knows where it all goes wrong
Every angle, every stare
Feels like someone’s always there

Push it further, push the line
Till it turns into design
What was satire, what was real?
Hard to tell what you’re supposed to feel

Something glossy starts to crack
And you can’t quite take it back
Is it smart or just too much?
Either way, it lost its touch

I was laughing with it, then I laughed at it
Something flipped and I can’t get past it
Shiny surface, cracking fast
How long do you think this lasts?

I was laughing with it, then I laughed at it
Beauty bends till it snaps like plastic
If this is youth, I’ll take the cost
‘Cause everything perfect’s already lost

Margaret in her prime will never be as hot as Demi in “Charlie’s Angels,” which wasn’t even Demi’s prime. So, Margaret – who’s in way too many movies as it is – yeah, her casting for the role of Demi’s hotter, younger self just wasn’t the most believable option.

Anyway

Cold Diet Coke can sweating in the light
Honestly stole the scene tonight
All that gloss, all that pose
Still the realest thing on sho

That Diet Coke moment? yeah, they knew
Slow-motion like it had something to prove
All that gloss, the drip, the shine
Shot so clean it crossed the line

Call it thirst, call it a joke
But that scene had a different chokehold
Four stars? nah, let’s rewrite
That one shot made it five overnight

Ugh I love Diet Coke
Oh yeah, Diet Coke

We saw boobs on screen, but all I can think about is that Diet Coke
