smile like a credit card

to start with, money impresses
to start with, grinning glows
but a story's empty under the words
and a vacancy always has to go

it flashes it's smile like a credit card
gets the world on it's string
but balloons, they always deflate

no-one sees it cheating
swapping, switching it's hand
you done realsie you've been done by
because it's better to out like a lion, in like a lamb

it flashes its smile like a credit card
but credit piles up fast
and it found out a smile too late

it says it's done things no-one really has
and never plays by the books
but inside out it lies
and isn't as naughty as it looks

it flashes its smile like a credit card
still lives by people liking the rich kid
refuses to face rich fate

it just wants to be loved
and never be forgotten
but being bad isn't all that good
and what looked good 's turned rotten

it flashes its smile like a credit card
thinking money can get you life
but when your credit card's out of date...
