The Latest Greatest Train Wreck

This month she's a singer in public lewd and crude pushed into the limelight and usually half nude Next month she'll be a model a drug-addicted child in and out of courtrooms another youth gone wild The latest greatest train wreck is just another face she'll rise and fall so quickly then another takes her place Each new one tries to outdo the ones that came before with even bigger scandals and troubles by the score Just 25 and burnt out used up and thrown away disposable celebrities come and go each day And tragically for some they lose their very lives they're just another headline on which the public thrives Created in a board room churned out at record pace the latest greatest train wreck has come to take your place
