The Pretty Ones lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's an age-old situation

The consequence of the selfish gene

In pursuit of that perfection

They exist in a tired dream of

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

It may seem superficial

But this is how the world spins 'round

All the pretty ones

Climb the ladder, join the queue

The pretty ones sell their products

The pretty ones buy them too

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

Cars and clothing, hair and makeup

Know we're watching you, look so good

[Chorus]

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 down
