lyrics

Does it feel like you thought it would
Spoken loud enough to be important
Ha Ha Ha Haaa Ha
Ha Haaa Ha

Dressing for success it’s not our fault that
All this sex that sells and no one’s bothered
Ha Ha Ha Haaa Ha
Ha Haaa Ha

Cast your net
In this contest

Too young to sing
Too old to dance

Does it feel like you’ve played the part
Seen it all before in the stars
Ha Ha Ha Haaa Ha
Ha Haaa Ha
