Vanity

Oh the irony
Laughing in my face
This city is so pretty
But I can't stand this place
The painted faces
High heeled shoes
Shiny things
And men in suits
All the countless things to do
Still I don't feel amused

These streets
Scattered with disease
A sickness you can't see
Walking dead
Clouds over their heads
The sad reality

It's all money and sunny
Milk and honey
A picture for my fans
Feeling lovely
Ugly
Fooling everybody
The vanity never ends

Why can't you see
Oh girl you're everything they want to be
I know you're down but baby
You don't need to change what you're becoming
Sing your songs and they'll keep humming
Take your time and learn to love your personality

We come out the same
All trained to play the game
Pursuit of happiness
It's all we ever chase
Buying into every lie
The more you're liked the more you're right
I'm so sick of scraping by
Keeping up with this life

It's all money and sunny
Milk and honey
A picture for my fans
Feeling lovely
Ugly
Fooling everybody
The vanity never ends

Why can't you see
Oh girl you're everything they want to be
I know you're down but baby
You don't need to change what you're becoming
Sing your songs and they'll keep humming
Take your time and learn to love your personality

You're smothered with everything you need
Everything you want and everything you could dream
You ever think
You ever see
You never really know going on underneath

It's all money and sunny
Milk and honey
A picture for my fans
Feeling lovely
Ugly
Fooling everybody
The vanity never ends

Come on feed my vanity
Wanna be more than you see
Come on feed my vanity
Wanna be more than you see

Why can't you see
Oh girl you're everything
They want to be
I know you're down but baby
You don't need to change what you're becoming
Sing your songs and they'll keep humming
Take your time and learn to love your personality
