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 [bad word] that life is so hard
with a punker-than-thou attitude
you hide behind a facade to elude

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

You're a simple book to read
with your transparent creed
Your facade recedes
to your front-we do heed.

oh my god i've got daddy's benz today
really i have mommy's plastic
we can go shopping, oh my god, total
the mall 
we're there, we're so there
shop for punk cd, come on 
alright, lets go

You're a simple book to read
with your transparent creed
Your facade recedes
to your front-we do heed.

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

You're a simple book to read
with your transparent creed
Your facade recedes
to your front-we do heed.
