lyrics

Why do you wear those sunglasses on your eyes?
You're just a pig so go back to your sty

There's not enough lipstick in all the JC Penny's
To pretty up the lips that lie
The lips that won't even try
The lips that love and say bye bye

No plugs can hide the shiny receding's begun
No baseball cap is gonna convince anyone
Your gleaming teeth might get you in somewhere for free
But when your face starts to leak you won't want anyone to see

There's not enough liner in all the makeup counters
To cover up the eyes that lie
The eyes that don't even cry
The eyes that love and wonder why

It may sound like I'm playing
but it's all that I can do to stop me from you
It may sound like I've got it
In for you

You may try but still you can't ignore
You're just a rat scurrying fast across the floor
You can talk about somebody else
A parasitical lip with which you fondly kiss yourself

There's not enough powder in all the department stores
to pretty up the cheeks that hide, the cheeks that won't even try
