The Business

Faint + Celeb Culture

(The Faint’s new record drops today)

Below are the lyrics for “Get Seduced”. It’s a little homily on celeb culture and how out of control it’s gotten. Hey, somebody had to say it…
———————————————–
GET SEDUCED

Tabloid magazines are made in hell
The falling stars are getting sucked down
we get seduced easy
WE GET SEDUCED!

Sell us magazines about the stars
and watch us stare into the void
what not to wear to the awards
who’s tit escaped on camera
now these creeps are climbing up the trees
the neighbors calling the police
they’re snapping pictures by the pool
we seduced so easy

Check out clerks all thumbing toward the page
An A-list starlet shaves her brains
while starving millionaires complain
TV makes the ass fat

Tell us, how rad is it living in a microscope?
broadcast into every single living room?
hot lights on your love life
let me buy close up tabloid shots of your cellulite

Hypnotizing pages of advice
from their demented fashion do’s or dies
who put this hook inside my mouth? you?
your getting so obsessed it’s all we talk about
we’re passive hounds on the couch

How rad is it living in a microscope?
broadcast into every single living room?
hot lights on your love life
it’s not love
thats sex on the first night

How rad is it living in a microscope?
broadcast into every single living room
hot lights on your love life
let me buy close up tabloid shots of your cellulite
