Cosmetic Fixation

Cosmetic fixation, it’s overtaking the nation
Cosmetic fixation, it’s such a sick situation
Is here hair real blonde
Are her legs real long
Does she look real foxy on the party lawn
You pretend your love is true
But she’s just a symbol of success to you

Cosmetic fixation, we pursue it with dedication
Cosmetic fixation, you know we use it like medication
You got the foreign car With the phone and bar
And the license plate says who you are
You pretend you’re satisfied
Yes, but it’s only there to stroke your pride

We’re so concerned about keeping up appearances
And all the while we ravage our humanity
We’re so annoyed with the Truth’s interferences
And real values get sacrificed to vanity

Cosmetic fixation, it’s overtaking the nation
Cosmetic fixation, you know we treat it like the great vocation
You got the house on the hill
Your Jacuzzi’s filled
And the Dom Perignon is nicely chilled
It’s like all those magazines
But in the end it doesn’t mean a thing
