Transparent Creed

You preach with such conviction
 but your life mirrors contradiction
 daddy foots the bills
 as you live a life of priveleged frills
 buying hair dye with mommy's visa card
 yet you bitch that life is so hard
 with a punker-than-thou attitude
 you hide behind a facade to elude
 [Chorus]
 You're a simple book to read
 with your transparent creed
 Your facade recedes
 to your front-we do heed.
 Sent to an ivy league school
 only to come out a corporate fool
 one day sporting daddy's benz
 next day your politi-punk stance condescends
 your opinions are ineffectual
 you're a phoney pseudo-intellectual
 out to prove yourself with verbal affrays
 but your prescence here is just a phase
 [Chorus]
 You make attempts to theorize
 with motives contrived to criticize
 you'll find ways to falsly justify your guise
 to explain to yourself your lies
 you'll be gone in two years-an accurate prediction
 and elsewhere you'll live out a life of fiction
 family money affords your fleeting radical views
 but nothing can buy you true virtues
 [Chorus]
 [Repeat 1st Verse]
 [Chorus x2]
