Golden Boys

Why are you selling dreams
 Of who you wish you could be?
 A prince in all of the magazines
 They'd have no words for the man I've seen
 You talk real fast 'fore they see your face
 Would they love you
 If they knew all the things we know?
 We've got these images
 We need them to be true
 Not ready to believe
 We're no more insecure than you
 But then there're girls like me
 Who sit appauled 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're girls like me
 Who sit appauled 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 kissin' 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
 But then years go by and people grow
 I realize it's all a freak show
 But then there're girls like me
 Who sit appauled 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're girls like me
 Who sit appauled 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
 Bubblin' mindstate thrown in my face
 Girls like me don't need no
 Bubblin' mindstate thrown in my face
 The way you goin'
 Ain't gonna be no stroll in the sunshine
 Can't turn it back now, baby
 You gone and past that line
 Girls like me, give it on up now
 So give it on up now
 So what you gonna do?
 But then there're girls like me
 Who sit appauled 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're girls like me
 Who sit appauled 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
