Sex And Gasoline

So much beauty, abs and tush
Swoop down on you like a burnin' bush
Pop religion, bullwhip thin
Says you ain't nothing but the shape you're in

Oh, come on now girl, genuflect nude magazine
This mean old world runs on sex and gasoline

19 candles adorn your cake
Life's simple pleasures is a chance you take
Here's the skinny, indulge the urge
Sometime later, you can binge and purge

Oh, come on now girl, we both know what I mean
This mean old world runs on sex and gasoline

You're pushing 30, why, you old hag?
Here's something dirty for your shopping bag
You spend the money, here's the deal
We'll do our best to mend your sex appeal

Oh, come on now girl, the process is routine
This mean old world runs on sex and gasoline

You're over 40, that's it for you
I'm pretty sure there's nothing else that we can do
Perhaps the convent, perhaps the knife
You coulda, shoulda, woulda been a rich man's wife

Oh, come on old girl, Lolita in her prime was yet 13
This mean old world runs on sex and gasoline

Tired ol' story, sad but true
We mama's boys have got it in for you
Our faults are many, virtues nil
We never loved you and we never will

Oh, come on now girl, it's time we both come clean
This mean old world runs on sex and gasoline

From the first grade princess to the last homecoming queen
This mean old world runs on sex and gasoline
Oh, yes, and your mother's world ran on sex and gasoline
