Cool kids and pictures in magazines
Haircuts, haircuts, painted in lipstick
Cool kids and pictures in magazines
Will you let me, let me, be who I wanna be
Oh... they all have it all
Everybody wants everything, yeah
I want everything too
Not gonna be left out
The odd man out
The last cat down
Baby, you know you look so good in those jeans
But when the next big thing hits
You won't even last five minutes
Baby, you know you look so good in those shoes
Your five minutes are done
And no one will ever remember.
They told you all you had to do was flash your best clothes
Shine, shine a light yo, everywhere you go
Just make sure that they're really nice, top class
'Cause everybody knows exactly how expensive it gets, right?
On the outside it's so pretty, on the inside it's so cold and cruel
Now let me tell you...
That's why they call it cool... that's why they do it.
Nothing will stay behind, though
Nothing else, but a million shopping carts
As the sands wash over the graveyard of the empty hearts
Nothing will stay behind, though
Nothing else, but a million shopping carts
And the signs with blinking lights still spell out:
Buy, buy (bye, bye) everything!
