And they smile like mannequins
Their lips shimmering like diamonds
And you'd never know
The gun they have held to their back
So they stand up straight
Because life is perfect
Life is so well
This is life as a Hollywood Girl
They hide the cuts on there arm
So cleverly as the camera flashes
Lighting down their perfect skin
Hiding away t heir tragic sins
And their hair glides across the air
In slain perfection
As their fans look at them
With such deep affection
But when they go home
And they lay all alone
Cut themselves only to bleed lipgloss
They wonder what it is they want
Well i'll never be as pretty as you
So they paint their faces with shades of grey
Because thats how they feel inside
And these lives of these showgirls
...They all just lied

| I like the way you portrayed the idea in some respects, though it is, and always has been, difficult for people to sympathize with someone who places themselves, by their own actions, in the situations that jeopardize their life and self-image. If you don't like the results, stop doing it. Why can't it be that simple? The "gun they have held to their back" also threw me for a loop. For one, it would be very odd for someone to hold a gun to their own back (it is only slightly even possible, and if you were to fire, would produce less than effective results), and no one is holding a gun to the backs of people in show business... they do it by choice. Period. |
