the spring catalog of trendy trainwrecks (how you spend your weekly paychecks)

talk is cheap
love is priceless
but what about i love you
which way does it go
cuz lately you're only in vowels
and i've been
cleaning up grammatical errors
with numerical towels
spend a fortune on a word
that was your best bet
but you lost that (i) bet
this is elegant in a sense
but it doesn't capture true elegance
don't try to be something you're not
i see through all of your fake diamonds and rings
your couture and your fashion are your slings
so spend your pretty pennies on words
that aren't so high in worth
runways going to slow
you just wanna get up and go
but there's a price to pay
to be a beautiful angel
floating high above us all
it takes money not to fall
buy yourself some Louis Vuitton shoes
or something from Gucci that's brand new
you're never gonna be brand new
buy yourself a new black and blue purse
that reminds me of an expensive bruise
just to hide your cheaply produced issues
you couldn't seem as desperate as you do now
you think you've got so much green
you'll never feel blue
but we know that isn't true
we know that not just you
it's me too
the world's so worried about looks
that it's let itself go
and the people you know
they're the same way too
they judge people so much
calling people like me out of touch
but on the opposite
my sense of touch > theirs
who cares what they wear
who cares what anyone wears
it's a part of the look they call theirs
fashions just some legal drug
over the counter
you've forgotten what's love
this is another trend
you think it's a friend
it'll be out of style soon
the fall line's coming out too
in a few weeks
that purse will be a dead artifact
laying in your closet
the queen of couture
is not synonymous with
the queen of tact
too busy
in negotiations with her feet
she forgot
the war in the Middle East
her war is waking up
and fixing her hair
the mirror vs. her stare
but nobody cares
we forgot her years ago
her fashion died too
and years later
even though you may hate it
fashions still a flu
and i'm not sick anymore
you're still whoreable
it's a disease for you
if this is cancer
a new handbag's the cure
but you're going to waste
and take your couture
