Lyrics

Safety pins holding up the things
That make you mine
About your hair, you needn't care
You look beautiful all of the time
Shine, shine, shine on
Yes, won't you shine, shine on?
Your magazines rip people at the seams
But you still read
I must admit, I don't believe in it
But I see how you get sucked in
Shine, shine, shine on
Yes, won't you shine, shine on? (Sha-la-la-la)
Shine, shine, shine on
Yes, won't you shine, shine on?
Because you're not done
Why do you bite the hand that feeds you?
Why do you
Why do you bite the hand that feeds? Yeah
Shine, shine, shine on
Yes, won't you shine, shine on? (Sha-la-la-la)
Shine, shine, shine on
Yes, won't you shine, shine on?
Safety pins holding up the things
That make you mine
About your hair, you needn't care
You look beautiful all of the time
