Devotchkas Transarent Creed Lyrics

Transarent Creed Lyrics

you preach with such conviction

but your life mirrors contradiction

daddy foots the bills

as you live a life of priveleged frills

buying hairdye 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'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.



you preach with such conviction

but your life mirrors contradiction

daddy foots the bills

as you live a life of priveleged frills

buying hairdye 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.
