Soul Suckers
Amos Lee
Did you believe themWhen they told you they discovered youThat everything is freeAs long as you do what they tell you toThink it s trueBut nothing could be further from the truthmy loveDid you even listenWhen they told you to change your nameNow nobody wants honesty when looking at a perfect framePlay the gameBut nothing could be further from the truthmy loveAnd nothing is more powerful than beauty in a wicked worldPlay it girlPlay it girlPlay it girlDoes it make you feel goodWhen they tell you what you want to hearAnd after they suck all your soulWell that s when they disappearDisappearDisappear for everand everLike a prince in your little fairy taleAnd you will find itWhen they put your soul on saleBut nothing could be further from the truthmy loveAnd nothing is more powerful than beauty in a wicked world
