All these fancy words and fake plastic pearls
Are becoming too high school for me
With all the “give it to me now” girls
That scream prostitutes with a capital P
Mistake my words for something great
Be fooled by the story within
And as tragic as it all may seem
Remember it was all just an everlasting trend
Of.
..Tank tops..
..Ripped jeans..
..Highlights & Platinum Blonde extensions..
..Lipgloss that tastes like -Pink Lemonade-..
..New haircuts..
&& don’t forget the fake tans
characterized by playboy bunnies.
Hidden discretely
Under those skintight jeans
I don’t want to play that part anymore
Of being societies fake plastic whore
Because you never really noticed anyway
That I was floundering under the pressure
To be everything to everyone
So I’ll buy a box of blonde highlights
And play the part of the ditz
If that’s all it takes to get your love
So mistake these words for something great
Be fooled by the story within
And as tragic as it all may seem
Remember it was all just an everlasting trend
