lyrics

Lyrics:

She was brought up artificially
Never what they wanted her to be
No matter how hard she tried
And so now

All she wants to do is sing about money
All she wants to do is sing about love
All she wants to do are drugs in the system
Everyone loosen up

If beauty is her currency
And youth is visibility
And that's the way it has to be

I'm relating and I'm drifting away
And I'm slipping the distance is sinking in
Please won't you listen to what I've been thinking
I finally see it's conditioning

Cause I'm a bad bitch
I'm a good witch
Yeah I'm significant
They can deal with it

If beauty is our currency
And youth is visibility
And that's the way it has to be
Then love never came for free

Love isn't payment for a job done well
Love is not a refund for your personal hell
Love is not a store where you buy and sell
Love should never be withheld from those who don't excel

Love is not a trophy for how hard you try
And love as a transaction that is based on lies
Will only gain their interest in your currency
But there's more than meets the eye
Don't you see?

If beauty is our currency
And youth is visibility
And that's the way it has to be
Then maybe we should disagree
