Lyrics

Art i ficial

I know I'm artificial, but don't put the blame on me

I was reared with appliances in a consumer society

When I put on my make-up, the pretty little masks not me

'Cause that's the way a girl should be in a consumer society

In a, in a consumer society, in a, in a consumer society

Existence is elusive, the kind that is supported by mechanical resources

Existence is elusive, the kind that is supported by mechanical resources

I wanna be Instamatic, I wanna be a frozen pea

I wanna be dehydrated in a consumer society

In a, in a consumer society, in a, in a consumer society

Existence is elusive, the kind that is supported by mechanical resources

Existence is elusive, the kind that is supported by mechanical resources

In a, in a consumer society, in a, in a consumer society

I wanna be Instamatic, I wanna be a frozen pea

I wanna be dehydrated in a consumer society

In a, in a consumer society, in a, in a consumer society, in a, in a consumer society
