Who Really Wins

While watching the Oscars
I sit here and I think
They all look so fancy 
In their tuxes and minks

These actors who make millions
Playing someone they're not
While I sit here on the couch
Envious of all that they've got

But when we dig deeper
And look past their fame
You start to realize 
That we're all the same

If we could turn the camera around 
And they could watch us
It is these celebrities
Who would really be jealous
