Lyrics

Planet Pop
Words and music by Colin McConnell

Take a very small step for man
Down the runway in your Donna Karan
Flash a sympathetic smile to your fans
Strike a pose for the fashion magazine

Around here life can get hard
Around here they sell the soul by the yard
And the air?s so thick that you can hardly breathe
Take a look around you everywhere you see

These disposable people
With disposable lives
This is how your survive
Here on Planet Pop

Do what you can to keep your name in the scene
Go and hang with dangerous people but keep your image clean
Keep the engine running smooth with methamphetamine
Keep the finish bright and new with Retin-A

Around here you have to work to be cool
Around here they?re fickle and cruel
And the papparrazi say what the papparrrzi want
They just caught you sitting down in a restaurant

With disposable people
And their disposable lives
This is how you survive
Here on Planet Pop

Around here you have to work to be cool
Around here they?re fickle and cruel
You take a star and you handle with care
One bad move and you?re in the center square
