6) MTV Poster Girl

(Listen, as the conversation grows quiet

Watch as all your friends turn their backs

Hear the silence, as it grows indefinite

Your screwed up forever…it’s a fact)

You’re the topic of so many songs

The offspring of things that have gone wrong

The typical teenage girl of today

And then you hear them say

Chorus:

MTV poster girl with the answers for everything

Telling teenagers how to think, make fun of the

Ones not listening

To exactly what pop society says

To MTV

You’re an MTV poster girl

Laugh at yourself not me

Everyone can smell the drink on your breath

Everyone knows what’s hidden in your bedroom drawer

Everyone can hear the catch in your voice

The one that gives it all away, the one that erases choice

You’re the reason for so many wrongs

You’re the freak that’s finding fashion in multi-colored bongs

The reject of pop-society today

And now you will hear us say

Chorus

I saw you fall but you did not get back up

I thought you would, but then you said you wrote

The book on how to give yourself the best cut

I once told you that you’re the type to give up without a fight

But now maybe you know that I am always right

Chorus

MTV

You’re an MTV poster girl

MTV

You’re the one not tuning into

Yourself
