Golden Boys Lyrics

Why are you selling dreams
Of who you wish you could be?
A prince in all of the magazines
They'd have no words for the man I've seen
You talk real fast 'fore they see your faceWould they love you
If they knew all the things we know?
We've got these images
We need them to be true
Not ready to believe
We're no more insecure than youBut then there're girls like me
Who sit appauled by what we've seen
We know the truth about you
Now you're the prince of all the magazines
That is a dangerous thingNow would they love you
If they knew all the things that we know?
Those golden boys are all a fraud
Don't believe their show
Now would they love you

If they knew all the things that we know
Golden boy life ain't a videoBut then there're girls like me
Who sit appauled by what we've seen
We know the truth about you
Now you're the prince of all the magazines
That is a dangerous thingGolden boyPlace you in these robes
And tell you you're the greatest man
And you believe in playing cards
Got dealt a winning handDon't you get tired of the show
The kissin' ass of all the people that you wanna know
When I was young I thought you had it won
I saw you on TV you made life look fun
But then years go by and people grow
I realize it's all a freak showBut then there're girls like me
Who sit appauled by what we've seen
We know the truth about you
Now you're the prince of all the magazines
That is a dangerous thingNow would they love you
If they knew all the things that we know?
Those golden boys are all a fraud
Don't believe their show
Now would they love you
If they knew all the things that we know
Golden boy life ain't a videoBut then there're girls like me
Who sit appauled by what we've seen
We know the truth about you
Now you're the prince of all the magazines
That is a dangerous thingGirls like me don't need no
Bubblin' mindstate thrown in my face
Girls like me don't need no
Bubblin' mindstate thrown in my faceThe way you goin'
Ain't gonna be no stroll in the sunshine
Can't turn it back now, baby
You gone and past that lineGirls like me, give it on up now
So give it on up now
So what you gonna do?But then there're girls like me
Who sit appauled by what we've seen
We know the truth about you
Now you're the prince of all the magazines
That is a dangerous thingNow would they love you
If they knew all the things that we know?
Those golden boys are all a fraud
Don't believe their show
Now would they love you
If they knew all the things that we know
Golden boy life ain't a videoBut then there're girls like me
Who sit appauled by what we've seen
We know the truth about you
Now you're the prince of all the magazines
That is a dangerous thingNow would they love you
If they knew all the things that we know?
Those golden boys are all a fraud
Don't believe their show
Now would they love you
If they knew all the things that we know
Golden boy life ain't a video
