The Fear By Lilly Allen
I want to be rich and I want lots of moneyI don't care about clever I don't care about funny
I want loads of clothes and f#%*loads of diamondsI heard people die while they are trying to find them
And I'll take my clothes off and it will be shamelessCause everyone knows that's how you get famous
I'll look at The Sun and I'll look in The MirrorI'm on the right track yeah I'm onto a winner
ChorusI don't know what's right and what's real anymoreAnd I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clearCause I'm being taken over by the fear
Life's about film stars and less about mothersIt's all about fast cars and cussing each otherBut it doesn't matter cause I'm packing plastic
And that's what makes my life so fucking fantastic
And I am a weapon of massive consumptionAnd it's not my fault it's how I'm programmed to function
I'll look at The Sun and I'll look in The MirrorI'm on the right track yeah we're onto a winner
Chorus
Forget about guns and forget ammunitionCause I'm killing them all on my own little mission
Now I'm not a saint but I'm not a sinnerNow everything's cool as long as I'm getting thinner
Chorus
