lyrics

You can dress it up, but its just lipstick
On a suckling pig, but its such a pretty shade
Could be the finest thing on god's green
But with an ugly soul what you gonna do when beauty fades
And we're all grown now standing tower tall
Wildly flapping gums with jack shit to say

Not just fake plastic trees, we got fake everything
Dressed to the nines, we were there with bells on only to find
They all were broken

With those rocks where your brains should be
Better take care or learn to love living at the bottom of the sea
Got a dismal future for your wasted life
Cause backstabbers die wallowing in misery
My version of success, many friends and no wealth
You can keep your money, aint no place I'd rather be
