some day you'll find me in the pages of the glossy rags
poolside baby with the ruling class
looking so serene so severe making all the scenes
outfitted in the latest designer fashion haute couture
contemptuous and pure
medicated and perfected, color corrected, disinfected
judging all that I survey
and aristocrat and play
far from the noise and the squalor of the common man
tucked in to supple leather seats behind tinted glass
cause all that really matters, all that really makes it worthwhile
living in this hall of mirrors is the
numbers in your bank account
not the sermon on the mount
people fuss and moan and worry
try to find a purpose, try to find a meaning
but the truth in any age
is that poverty is a cage
is a cage
don't lock me away
