She cut her hair in the latest style

'though it did not suit her face

it got her one condescending smile

put her right back in her place



Why be a blank page in an open book

come judgement day it won't matter how you look



[Chorus]

We're superficial people

modern and modified

we're superficial people

gift wrapped garbage

cut and dried



He got the cash and the arrogance

yeah he even sold his soul

can't measure up to what they want

'cause they always move the goal



Why be a wage slave to factory or firm

come dying day it won't matter what you earn



We're superficial people

stunted and stupefied

we're superficial people

blackmailed, bribed and beautified



It's all designed to keep you down

though you think that you're content

spend your life waiting in a queue

but you never reach the end...........
