Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Why are you selling dreams of who you wish you could be?
A prince in all of the magazines
They have no words for the man I've seen
No, no
You talk real fast 'fore they see your face
[Verse 2]
And would they love you if they knew all the things we know?
We know
We got these images
We need them to be true
Not ready to believe we're no more insecure than you
[Chorus]
But then there's girls like me
Who sit appalled by what we've seen
We know the truth about you
Now you're the prince of all the magazines
That is a dangerous thing
[Chorus]
Now would they love you if they knew all the things that we know?
Those golden boys are all a fraud, don't believe their show
Now would they love you if they knew all the things that we know?
Golden boy, life ain't a video
[Chorus]
But then there's girls like me
Who sit appalled by what we've seen
We know the truth about you
Now you're the prince of all the magazines
That is a dangerous thing
Golden boy
[Verse 3]
Place you in these robes
And tell you you're the greatest man
And you believe in playing cards
Got dealt a winning hand
Don't you get tired of the show?
The kissing ass of all the people that you wanna know
[Verse 4]
When I was young, I thought you had it won
I saw you on TV, you made life look fun and, yeah
Years go by and people grow
I realize it's all a freak show
[Chorus]
But then there's girls like me
Who sit appalled by what we've seen
We know the truth about you
Now you're the prince of all the magazines
That is a dangerous thing
[Chorus]
Now would they love you if they knew all the things that we know?
Those golden boys are all a fraud, don't believe their show
Now would they love you if they knew all the things that we know?
Golden boy, life ain't a video
[Chorus]
But then there's girls like me
Who sit appalled by what we've seen
We know the truth about you
Now you're the prince of all the magazines
That is a dangerous thing
[Bridge]
Girls like me don't need no
Bubbling mind-state thrown in my face
Girls like me don't need no
Bubbling mind-state thrown up in my face
[Bridge]
The way you're going ain't gonna be no stroll in the sunshine
Can't turn it back now, baby, you gone and passed that line
Girls like me, we give it on up now
So give it on up now
So what you gonna do?
[Chorus]
But then there's girls like me who sit appalled by what we've seen
Yeah, yeah
We know the truth about you
We know the truth
Now you're the prince of all the magazines
That is a dangerous thing
[Chorus]
Now would they love you if they knew all the things that we know?
Those golden boys are all a fraud, don't believe their show
Now would they love you if they knew all the things that we know?
Golden boy, life ain't a video
[Chorus]
But then there's girls like me
Who sit appalled by what we've seen
We know the truth about you
Now you're the prince of all the magazines
That is a dangerous thing
[Chorus]
Now would they love you if they knew all the things that we know?
Would they love you? Would they love you?
Those golden boys are all a fraud, don't believe their show
How can they love you? I wanna know, how can they love you?
Now would they love you if they knew all the things that we know?
Golden boy, life ain't a video
[Outro]
But then there's girls like me
