lyrics

Slack vs Lame

You’re always late up
You never shut up
Still taking daddy’s guilt money

You say you’re fed up
Your mind is made up
Go figure, life isn't just what they say

I know your mummy doesn’t like you ‘cos you’re always on the run
A Technicolor dream, you see yourself on the silver screen

Stay bitter, follow the quest for glitter
Slack versus vacant and lame
Make them pay for daring to call you quitter
Go put your so-called life up for sale

Come on and face it
You better make it
It’s make-believe in reality

Put on your smile girl
Get lost in the swirl
Go plastic, use all the magic you can

Remember mummy didn’t come for you when you were on the run
But little did she know, that you would die for the silver screen

Mummy won’t know where you’ve been
Teenage girls can be so mean
Always late up, still so keen
Technicolor silver screen
Makeup keeps you squeaky clean
The cameras can’t see what you’ve seen
Your dream come true is so obscene
Your dream come true is so obscene

Stay bitter, follow the quest for glitter
Fact versus fiction and fame
Make them pay for daring to call you quitter
Go put your so-called life up for sale

Stay bitter, stay on the quest for glitter
You slackers all look the same
Make them pay for daring to call you quitter
Go put your so-called life up for sale
