lyrics

Size 0, squeeze into a wardrobe
Judge a girl by the diamonds in her earlobes
Pressure pressure pushes down on her
As we all aim to be something we’re not
When will all of this stop?

And everything you wish to be
Is plastered up on billboards and
In the ads on your TV
This social monster swallowed you so fast
And here I sit
Only hoping it will eat me last

What have we done?
Just a simple question asked
By the people whose possessions now are burying their past
This money, this power, this fortune and fame
Is the American dream
But does it ever kill the pain no
Is it far too late to draw the line
As lying lips proclaim that we are fine… we are fine…
