Plastic and Fantastic

Oh, Gorgeous Girl,
You should show me your world
All the glamour and the light
All those parties every night

Do you wear makeup,
Gorgeous Girl?
Hide imperfections,
Gorgeous Girl?
Plastic body,
Gorgeous Girl?
Lip injections,
Gorgeous Girl?

Oh, Gorgeous Girl,
Gorgeous boyfriend,
Gorgeous world,
Too perfect it seems,
Are you really living the dream?

Are you empty,
Gorgeous Girl?
Do you cry,
Gorgeous Girl?
Do you vomit,
Gorgeous Girl?
Will you die,
Gorgeous Girl?

With all the money in the world,
Aren't you happy, Gorgeous Girl?
All the luxuries and fashion,
Gorgeous Girl, is that your passion?

Do you dream,
Gorgeous Girl?
Do you wish,
Gorgeous Girl?
Would you change,
Gorgeous Girl?
Trade all this,
Gorgeous Girl?
