Bosie

They can not understand
Who we are (what I am)
Die back within the wood
Find someone who looks good
Look softly through the glass
Rock stardom never lasts

Take us (ya wanna?)
Make us (ya wanna?)
Break us (ya wanna?)
(The pigment's coming through)
Want us (ya wanna?)
Need us (ya wanna?)
Have us (ya wanna?)
(Its never up to you)

Line up and take a pill
Stand up straight and hold still
Photos and autographs
Find our shows on the map
Review the latest news
Surrender right to choose


Mouths drop and glassy eyes
New trend to despise
Lipstick and paper bags
Fashions with pricey tags
Black list your favorite band
Bitch just because you can

Love this (ya wanna?)
Hate this (ya wanna?)
Break this (ya wanna?)
(You change from day to day)
Leave this (ya wanna?)
Be this (ya wanna?)
Believe this (ya wanna?)
(Do everything they say)

Interested little boys
Play with their flaccid toys
Plastic and Plexiglas
Abandon all the rest
Leave us with all the luck
You think we give a fuck?

Hate this and all you see
Leave with your sanctity
Discard faith to the wind
Bring us back once again
Trinkets and charms of noise
Arsenal to destroy

Hail us (ya wanna?)
Nail us (ya wanna?)
Rail on us (ya wanna?)
(Image can always change)
Trust us (ya wanna?)
Lust for us (ya wanna?)
Leave us (ya wanna?)
(Can't take it all away)

Hit us with waves of steam
Breaking from every seam
Paint all the stars black
Box up and send us back
Blank eyes and Vaseline
Ask us and we'll come clean
