lyrics

try to be
try to do
try to slow your pain
you're going insane

try to be
buy your cool
shop till drop right now
you're so cool, fool

spend your self esteem
cos you're ready to prove your worth
your makeup is superior
you think you're better than me?
try to be so polite but you're just so uncouth
you just look so beautiful but you're lacking in truth
the world's best manners but the world's worst sense

try to be
way too smooth
she loves your cash right now
you know no truth

try to be
king of pride
its all downhill from here
enjoy the ride

spend your self esteem
cos you're ready to prove your worth
your makeup is superior
you think you're better than me?
try to be so polite but you're just so uncouth
you just look so beautiful but you're lacking in truth
the world's best manners but the world's worst sense


try to be
drown in pool
looks so good your corpse
you're oh so cool
