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 bitch 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 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

[Chorus x2]
