about
Third single from Acoustic-Rock band "Local Dive"
lyrics
Socialite
She thumbs her nose, well I suppose, she thinks she’s heaven sent
Too self absorbed to take the time to stop and smell the roses
The face she shows, is the one she chose, because she’s always hell bent
On the world only seeing her in the most heavenly poses
Camera turns away, that picture begins to fade, oh no
Can’t let em see a reality she didn’t manufacture
Never comes a day, a blemish is on display, oh no
If there’s greener grass, she’s gotta put that idea right back out to pasture
She makes her coins, out of fake points, she weaves a tangled web
Little girls try to look like her and buy their meals at the photo shop and
All the rich boys, beg her to join, them in their California king bed
The only background they care about is the one where she’s bedroom hoppin
Camera turns away, that picture begins to fade, oh no
Can’t let em see a reality she didn’t manufacture
Never comes a day, a blemish is on display, oh no
If there’s greener grass, she’s gotta put that idea right back out to pasture
But man don’t you know it didn’t used to be this way, well just yesterday
They said hey girl you’re too big for this little town and it stuck a chord
You gotta show your talents off to the attention of a bigger horde
Ever since that day she’s had a stylus mightier than a sword
She moved uptown and now she’s on a whole new farm with her brand new chores
Procedure day, to rejuvenate, you know she’s gotta stay young
The fountain of youth on an aqueduct that she can always afford
Small price to pay, buying down her age, she’ll sell some soul to pay up
She’d rather stay relevant than practice what she preaches oh lord
Camera turns away, that picture begins to fade, oh no
Can’t let em see a reality she didn’t manufacture
Never comes a day, a blemish is on display, oh no
If there’s greener grass, she’s gotta put that idea right back out to pasture
