Golden Boys

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Why are you selling dreams of who you wish you could be A prince in all of the magazines They have no words for the man I've seen You talk real fast 'fore they see your face But would they love you if they knew all the things we know We got these images We need them to be true Not ready to believe we're no more insecure than you [Pre-Chorus] But then there's girls like me who sit appalled at what we see We know the truth about you Now you're the prince of all the magazines That is a dangerous thing [Chorus] Now would they love you if we knew all the things that we know Those golden boys are all a fraud Don't believe their show Now would they love you if they knew all the things that we know Golden boy Life ain't a video [Post-Chorus] But then there's girls like me who sit appalled at what we see We know the truth about you Now you're the prince of all the magazines That is a dangerous thing Golden boys [Verse 2] Place you in these robes and tell you you're the greatest man And you believe in playing cards Got dealt a winning hand Don't you get tired of the show The kissing ass of all the people that you wanna know When I was young I thought you had it won I saw you on TV, you made life look fun and yeah Years go by and people grow I realize it's all a freak show [Pre-Chorus] But then there's girls like me who sit appalled at what we see We know the truth about you Now you're the prince of all the magazines That is a dangerous thing [Chorus] Now would they love you if we knew all the things that we know Those golden boys are all a fraud Don't believe their show Now would they love you if they knew all the things that we know Golden boy Life ain't a video [Post-Chorus] But then there's girls like me who sit appalled at what we see We know the truth about you Now you're the prince of all the magazines That is a dangerous thing Golden boys [Bridge] Girls like me don't need no bubbling mindstate throwing in my face Girls like me don't need no bubbling mindstate thrown up in my face Though where you going ain't gonna be no stroll in the sunshine Can't turn it back now baby you gone and pass that line Girls like me we give it on up now, so give it on up now So what you gonna do [Pre-Chorus] But then there's girls like me who sit appalled at what we see (Yeah, yeah) We know the truth about you (We know the truth) Now you're the prince of all the magazines That is a dangerous thing [Chorus] Now would they love you if they knew all the things that we know Those golden boys are all a fraud Don't believe their show Now would they love you if they knew all the things that we know Golden boy Life ain't a video [Post-Chorus] But then there's girls like me who sit appalled at what we see (Yeah, yeah) We know the truth about you (We know the truth) Now you're the prince of all the magazines That is a dangerous thing [Chorus] Now would they love you (Would they love you?) if they knew all the things that we know (Would they love you?) Those golden boys are all a fraud (How would they love you?) Don't believe their show (I want to know they gonna love you) Now would they love you if they knew all the things that we know Golden boy Life ain't a video [Outro] But then there's girls like me who sit appalled
