Gym Bunnies

Checking out all the buff guys in the gym

As they impress themselves in the mirrors

Flexin' and grunting

Tryin' to stay trim

I just roll my eyes, chuckle and grin

And then I catch myself and I laugh at myself

'Cause I just realised

I'm doing the same dumb things

Watching them lift their weights

Making hilarious faces

Tallying goals and gains

While I'm existentially questioning

Are we all seeking out validation?

I'm conflicted tryin' to understand it

Oh stop!

And just enjoy the eye candy

Gym Bunnies

Working on their six packs

Gym Bunnies

Tryin' to get ripped abs

Gym bodies

Is it time for me to quit?

Hell no, let's go, I'm not giving in!

What am I doing and why am I here?

Tryin' to convince myself it's all about health and mental wellness

It can't be vanity or fear

But look at all the machismo and posturing

Oh have I just been sucked in?

Did the adverts win?

There's so much pressure to emulate all these things

Though I spend every day

Doing the best I can to stay away

From perfectionist imagery

I still cannot seem to escape

When it's pushed in our faces daily

He just took a selfie then Instagrammed it

Oh fuck it, just enjoy the eye candy!

Is it time for me to quit?

Hell no, let's go, I'm not giving in!

Gym Bunnies

Chests, pecs and biceps

Gym Bunnies

Flexing in their tight vests

Gym bodies

I'm finding it hard to breathe

I'm all flushed while they're all strutting their stuff next to me

And those of us trying hard to rise above it

And like to claim we're not part of it

Are still stuck buying the bullshit

I'm trying, but nobody gets away

Oh it's such an insidious trap

Seeing our worth reflected back

When confronting the mirror

I'll bully myself that my belly must stay flat forever

And not get fat, ever!

So ridiculous!

And it's never-ending

Gym Bunnies

Checking out all of the hot guys in the gym

As they tone themselves in the mirrors

Is it just me or is the temperature rising?

Woo!

Ready?

Yep

Let's go!

Hey!

Checking out guys from across the room

Well it's a little naughty

Maybe kind of rude?

But hey, everybody does it and I'm only human!

(Yeah I'm only human)

I'm just checking out guys from across the room

They're all dripping with sweat and so well-groomed

And they're working out topless, here in full view

(Yes!)

Gym Bunnies

Checking out guys in the locker room

Am I just living the dream or am I damaging my self-esteem?

Bodies I'll never catch up to

(Gym bodies)

I'm just checking out guys from across the room

Candy for the eyes or something to aspire to?

Or is it just an ideal I can never live up to?

He'll no, let's go, I'm not giving in!

Gym Bunnies

Pumpin' on the bench press

Gym Bunnies

Pounding on the pec decks

Gym bodies

I'm finding it hard to breathe

Gym Bunnies

The peacocks are preenin'

Gym Bunnies

While I'm watchin' on, dreamin'

(Watching on dreamin')

Gym bodies

Is it time for me to quit?

Hell no!

Let's do it one more time!

Is it time for me to quit?

He'll no, let's go

I'm never giving in
