space-age world depletion
neo-nazism daycare center
she sells lipgloss the shape of a gun
but for 90 cents you can rent her

addictive avoidance and
the catty confrontation girl
vodka plus vindiction equals
baby, she's got the world!

julie ruin and veronica void
faith and love and britney
the pseudo-depth masquerade
justified anger to look pretty

put my pieces together
and what do you get
one thousand girls raised
speaking the language of regret

too busy pointing fingers
to wake up and know
that lifetimes lived per year
leave nothing at all to show.
