Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's a cautionary tale of fear and lust and pride

Based on actual events where people died

No one died

But how far would you go to be popular and hot?

Would you resist temptation?

No, you would not

[PreChorus]

Just admit it, sometimes

Mean is what you are

Mean is easier than nice

And though mean can take you far

Maybe this will make you think twice

Spin! Clicker! Fosse!

[Chorus]

This is a cautionary tale

About corruption and betrayal

And getting hit by a bus!

You can't buy integrity

Ooh, ooh

At the mall, it's not for sale

[Outro]

Truth

This is a cautionary tale!
