"The Pretty Ones" lyrics

It's an age-old situation
The consequence of the selfish gene
In pursuit of that perfection
They exist in a tired dream of

Cars and clothing, hair and makeup
Know your angles, flaunt them to get what you want
We're waiting, we're watching you
Look lovely, you look so good

It may seem superficial
But this is how the world spins 'round
All the pretty ones climb the ladder
The pretty ones join the queue
The pretty ones sell their products
The pretty ones buy them too

They've got a lot of fancy parties
Use the time you lose to make sure that you
Televise your pretty story
It's not a crime for you to be proud of it

If you think we won't notice
When you take a break from all of the
Cars and clothing, hair and makeup
Know we're watching, you look so good

It's all so superficial
This is how the world spins round
But the pretty ones, getting older
The pretty ones lose their hair
The pretty ones climb their ladder
The pretty ones fall back
