Pretty one
Harlequin
Charlatan
Glow of the sun punctuates your skin
Placates the grin on your face
But does not replace
The cold heart that lies in your ribcage
Movie star
Shiny car
Caviar
You’re all slaves to your fancy things
Blood diamond rings for the bride
Still doesn’t hide
The true price of pride’s ugly side
Someday we’ll pay
If not in our lives
Maybe your kid’s
Think it’s safe to say
That in the world today
It pays to be well paid
So take all you can take
Because Carpe diem’s our way
Masochist
Starved artist
Cut his wrist
He’ll never be what he sees on T.V.
Because it’s all just a ruse
He missed all the clues
Now the blues got the best of him
