Transparent Creed lyrics

Song information

Artist: Devotchkas
Album: Live Fast Die Young

Lyrics

You preach with such conviction
But your life mirrors contradiction
Daddy foots the bills
As you live a life of priveleged frills
Buying hair dye with mommy's visa card
Yet you bitch that life is so hard
With a punker-than-thou attitude
You hide behind a facade to elude

[Chorus:]
You're a simple book to read
With your transparent creed
Your facade recedes
To your front-we do heed

Sent to an ivy league school
Only to come out a corporate fool
One day sporting daddy's benz
Next day your politi-punk stance condescends
Your opinions are ineffectual
You're a phoney pseudo-intellectual
Out to prove yourself with verbal affrays
But your prescence here is just a phase

[Chorus]

You make attempts to theorize
With motives contrived to criticize
You'll find ways to falsly justify your guise
To explain to yourself your lies
You'll be gone in two years-an accurate prediction
And elsewhere you'll live out a life of fiction
Family money affords your fleeting radical views
But nothing can buy you true virtues

[Chorus]
[Repeat 1st verse]
[Chorus x2]
