Devotchkas Transparent Creed Lyrics

Transparent 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 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







[Chorus:]



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







[Chorus]







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]



[Repeat 1st Verse]



[Chorus x2]
