cracks in the mirror

she's been committing suicide for 10 years now
because nobody's ever told her that they love her
without wanting to put something in her
she'll have sick regrets at 19
beautiful and empty
clinging to regretless nature
because it's popular on mtv to think that way
it's encouraged

beautiful empty 19 year old girls without regrets

kinda sounds like heaven for a great deal of middle-aged males
unhappy with their marriages
or happy with their marriages
but wanting some good old-fashioned entertainment
at nobody's expense, of course
after all, who is hurt by a magazine spread on the bathroom floor?

"they're just pictures, dear
of course i don't want my children to see them
of course i don't want my children to be in them
well, yes, i want my children to know me, just not that side of me
i don't condone it, i just do it
no, my wife doesn't know
what i do in private will not affect anyone
what i think will not affect anyone"

know your effects
