Broken Mirror on Main Street
Create me a country song that melodic, catchy and easy to understand.
A song about a broken society where social media influencers, wanna be alpha males, LGBTQ members all try to be right but just really just show how broken a society is.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Saw a girl on my feed in a perfect dress
Selling one more cream for a made-up stress
Says “love yourself” with a paid white smile
Scroll again, stay awhile
Guy in a truck with a flexed-out grin
Preaching how a “real man” has to win
Calls it truth, calls it tough love talk
Just sounds scared to walk the walk
[Chorus]
Everybody’s got it figured out
Shouting from their corners, never any doubt
Pointing at each other, saying “you’re wrong, I’m right”
But nobody’s asking, “are you doing all right?”
We’re busy building little thrones of pride
Lighting up our screens and burning up inside
If we’re all so wise, what’s this hurt about?
Everybody’s got it figured out
[Verse 2]
Rainbow flag in a profile frame
Tired of being treated like they’re some kind of game
Just wants space to breathe and be
Not a headline on TV
Mama at the church with her Bible worn
Prays for the kids that her words have torn
Says “love your neighbor,” then slams that door
Can’t hear her own heart anymore
[Chorus]
Everybody’s got it figured out
Shouting from their corners, never any doubt
Pointing at each other, saying “you’re wrong, I’m right”
But nobody’s asking, “are you doing all right?”
We’re busy building little thrones of pride
Lighting up our screens and burning up inside
If we’re all so wise, what’s this hurt about?
Everybody’s got it figured out
[Bridge]
What if we’re all just scared of falling?
Hiding our cracks, ignoring the calling
What if being right ain’t worth this fight
If we can’t sit down at the same porch light? (ohh)
[Chorus]
Everybody’s got it figured out
Till the quiet hits home and the doubt gets loud
Maybe we’re all broken, trying to belong
Maybe we’ve been busy, getting kindness wrong
We’re busy building little thrones of pride
When all we really need is a place to hide
If loving each other’s what this life’s about
Why’s everybody gotta have it figured out?
