Lyrics
You shine like a sun in the night,
You are such a breath taking sight,
Everybody thinks that you are so hot,
Everybody thinks you made it to the top,
Your skin is so tight and white,
Your look is a great work of art,
Everybody thinks that it is you for real,
Everybody's buying what they cannot feel,
Hey, I'm not buying in although you're very cool,
Aint gonna buy a thing go find another fool.
You move like a cat in the dark,
You sell illusions in carts,
Everybody's watching and they want the same,
Everybody's paying let them play the game,
You walk the walk, you talk the talk, I guess you got it all,
You play the game, you are well paid, but what about your soul?
Hey, I'm not buying in although you're pretty cool,
Aint gonna buy a thing go find another fool,
Luxury cars and SUVs are passing on my TV screen,
cellphones, airlines, lucky me I don't fly, drugs that make you thin,
Toothpastes, whiteners and shampoos, all kinds of lotions and creams,
Low fat fast food, dogs' and cats' food, low calorie drinks,
Sports shoes, laptops, superbowl for you, cholesterol lowering pills,
Life insurance, car insurance, banks and pants, tasty ready-made meals.......
