please stop and stare for a while
nod and say 'we're okay' with a smile
i may do the same for you some day
just dont expect me to say

that we're okay
we're so happy
and oh so fine
like the people on tv
yes we're so beautiful
we'll always be
and get our sunset ending
like the people on tv

plastic as the rope around our necks
two hanging drug addled wrecks
we'll never die from public exposure
and never die with a sense of closure

if you ever feel like feeling down
come on over, we'll paint you like a clown
am i sane or am i crazy,
i don't give a fuck so i must be lazy

we're on all of the magazines
diamond studded stars of the machines
with a steady stream of cash
and people going through our trash

and we're okay
we're so happy
like the people on tv
like people on tv
