lyrics

Arrest warrants and forays in the night
Until you love someone, it's only a joy ride
Stock confines and women by your side
If you know her name, you should probably say goodbye

And I'll count from 7 billion down to one.
Only to find that Hollywood's still having all the fun

That could be my life
If I wanted
I tried on glamor but I found it haunted
I fell in love with the way that it was
I'm I'm not giving up
No I'm not giving up

Fortified and carved into our minds
In brightly colored packages not to come across unkind
Are weight-loss and fitness fads, celebrity solutions
In super market checkouts, where we stand like lemmings all in line
So lets pull up every survey stake and cut down every billboard
Till we've calmed our weary heads
Till it's got us feeling fine
