you got the look
but not the credit
they wrote the book
on how to sell it
from cigarettes
to skinny jeans
you got the money? they got the means
all you upper class daughters
and working class sons
it's hard to save a dollar
the way the world runs
you're the target market of a corporate joke
it won't be so ironic when your daddy is broke
surprise surprise
surprise surprise
you're much better looking when you're in disguise
surprise surprise
surprise surprise
and this revolution has been brought to you by. just find a style
so you can mimic
the tortured artist
the jaded cynic
the latest gadget
is just a gimmick
another sucker
born every minute
well i'm sick of this town
bringing me down
it's a first world epidemic all around
well i'm sick of this town
bringing me down
a lost generation trying to act profound
all you upper class daughters
and working class sons
it's hard to save a dollar the way the world runs
we've got a counter culture you can buy off a shelf
if you're losing your identity
try somebody else!
surprise surprise
surprise surprise
you're much better looking when you're in disguise
surprise surprise
surprise surprise
and this revolution has been brought to you by
those who seem to think we don't care
and those who seem to think we're not aware
surprise surprise
surprise surprise
you're much better looking when you're in disguise
call the ranks. call the ranks. call the ranks. all you working class daughters
and upper class sons
it's hard to save a dollar the way the world runs
we're the target market of a corporate hoax
our generation is a fucking joke
surprise surprise
surprise surprise
you're much better looking when you're in disguise
surprise surprise
surprise surprise
and this revolution has been brought to you by
those who seem to think we don't care
and those who seem to think we're not aware
