The Pretty Ones

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's an age-old situation The consequence of the selfish gene In pursuit of that perfection They exist in a tired dream of [Pre-Chorus] Cars and clothing, hair and makeup Know your angles, flaunt them to get what you want We're waiting, we're watching you Look lovely, you look so good [Chorus] It may seem superficial But this is how the world spins 'round All the pretty ones climb the ladder The pretty ones join the queue The pretty ones sell their products The pretty ones buy them too [Verse 2] They've got a lot of fancy parties Use the time you lose to make sure that you Televise your pretty story It's not a crime for you to be proud of it [Pre-Chorus] If you think we won't notice When you take a break from all of the Cars and clothing, hair and makeup Know we're watching, you look so good [Chorus] It's all so superficial This is how the world spins round But the pretty ones, getting older The pretty ones lose their hair The pretty ones climb their ladder The pretty ones fall back [Instrumental]
