Paint A Vulgar Picture
At the record company meeting
On their hands - a dead star
And oh, the plans they weave
And oh, the sickening greed
At the record company party

I dont care where youre going...

Just a child from those ugly new houses

Satiate the need
Slip them into different sleeves !
Buy both, and feel deceived
Climber - new entry, re-entry
World tour ! (media whore)
Please the press in belgium !

And when it fails to recoup ?
Well, maybe :
You just havent earned it yet, baby
I walked a pace behind you at the soundcheck
Youre just the same as I am
