The Mess Inside...

Pink n’ blue neon lights are crashin’
N’ bright white shiny teeth are flashin’;
Perfect faces lookin’ out n down
Perfect faces that never frown,
Million dollar smiles selling the dream
Million dollar smiles that mean nothin’ to you n me.

Corporate bubbles of boom n bust
Short term profit an absolute must;
Perfect faces lookin’ out n down
Perfect faces that never frown,
Million dollar smiles selling the dream
Million dollar smiles that mean nothin’ to you n me.

Handsome pretty faces sowing the seed
Handsome pretty faces planting the need;
Perfect faces lookin’ out n down
Perfect faces that never frown,
Million dollar smiles selling the dream
Million dollar smiles that mean nothin’ to you n me.

It’s us n them and you’ve got to buy in
Gotta have the same chance, the same chance to win;
Because their perfect faces lookin’ out n down
Perfect faces that never frown,
Their million dollar smiles selling the dream
Million dollar smiles that mean nothin’ to you n me.

Perpetuating the lie that our way is best
Come on boys, come on now! Follow the west;
Perfect faces lookin’ out n down
Perfect faces that never frown,
Million dollar smiles selling the dream
Million dollar smiles that mean nothin’ to you n me.

Economic empires that rise n never fall
Not until they hit that perfect Chinese wall;
Because their perfect faces lookin’ out n down
Perfect faces that never frown,
Their million dollar smiles selling the dream
Million dollar smiles that mean nothin’ to you n me.

The politics of greed n the propaganda of need
The US n China they’re as thick as thieves;
Yeah perfect faces lookin’ out n down
Perfect faces that never frown,
Million dollar smiles selling the dream
Million dollar smiles that mean nothin’ to you n me.

Every nobody’s chasing X factor fame
Everybody’s living life on the game;
Everybody wants what’s left of the rotten apple
Hands out to grope, grab n’ snaffle;
Satellites n acolytes all towin’ the line
Selling us all, selling us all down the line;
Because their perfect faces lookin’ out n down
Perfect faces that never frown,
Their million dollar smiles selling the dream
Million dollar smiles that mean nothin’ to you n me.
Yeah their bright white shiny teeth flash,
Think it’s their ticket to a pile of cash,
Just sucking you in to a world of need,
Sucking you in to their world of greed;
Yeah million dollar smiles selling the dream
Yeah million dollar smiles that mean nothin’ to you n me.
