She cut her hair in the latest style 
'though it did not suit her face 
it got her one condescending smile 
put her right back in her place 

Why be a blank page in an open book 
come judgement day it won't matter how you look 

We're superficial people 
modern and modified 
we're superficial people 
gift wrapped garbage 
cut and dried 

He got the cash and the arrogance 
yeah he even sold his soul 
can't measure up to what they want 
'cause they always move the goal 

Why be a wage slave to factory or firm 
come dying day it won't matter what you earn 

We're superficial people 
stunted and stupefied 
we're superficial people 
blackmailed, bribed and beautified 

It's all designed to keep you down 
though you think that you're content 
spend your life waiting in a queue 
but you never reach the end..
