Modern Day Addiction

«you will feel better when you have the operation
Somehow sparkling fresh and new
Have the operation!»
We live in the suburbs
Where people take their addictions indoors
Work real hard («such nice clean floors»)
Make it look strong
But when nobody’s looking all the ladies eat with tongs
The primitive brain is telling all the other parts that «they're insane!
There’s one little fix and it’s gonna fix it up
Gonna fix it good this time, tim, time»
Oh Tele-tle vision
Sugar on the cake
And the petrol in the car
Lots of make up
Slap it on thick, just like we’re sixteen
If we’re all Princesses, who’s gonna be the Queen?
I like The Wine. «It's Friday Night, one wine? Why not?»
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday night
«One wine. Why not?
Hey I only drink at night. I only drink at night
Well I mostly drink at night and I never drink alone
Well I sometimes drink alone, when there’s no-one home
And there’s no-one home, I don’t share my house
Who are you to judge me Willis? What you talkin' 'bout?
Hey!?»
Tele-tele vision
Sugar on the cake
And the petrol in the car
Lots of make up
Slap it on thick, just like we’re sixteen
If we’re all Princesses, who’s gonna be the Queen?
Of all the people, places, faces, none of it has changed
Even though the skirts are shorter and the hair is rearranged
And it doesn’t really matter if you’re rich, or you’re poor
If you’re dancing in this circle, it’s been danced in before
«I love you, I love you, I love you so badly
My little computer, you never really had me
It’s been fun man, it’s been fun man
But you never really held me like you wanna let me in»
Tele-tele vision
Sugar on the cake
And the petrol in the car
Lots of make up
Slap it on thick, just like we’re sixteen
If we’re all Princesses, who’s gonna be the Queen?
«you will feel better when you have the operation
Somehow sparkling fresh and new
Have the operation!»
