Golden Boys

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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?

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

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

But then there's girls like me
