Lyrics
Plastic
[©7/10 Words and music by Jeffry Swertfeger]
BPM - 110
[VERSE ONE]
Janie's got a sports car, she drives it in the sun.
The top comes down on Saturdays, her hair becomes undone.
And all along the PCH, she shouts out "look at me."
She drives right by the welfare line for everyone to see.
She's got her black book and schedules she must keep.
She listens to her NPR. Man, that girl is deep.
[CHORUS]
She's so plastic.
But she looks fantastic.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
She's kinda tragic, kinda sweet.
Not the kind you take to meet your mama.
She's so plastic.
She's so plastic
[VERSE 2]
Janie doesn't need a job, her body pays the bills.
She'll give it everything she's got. If only looks could kill.
[Cause] If you ain't got the money, honey. She don't wanna know.
Pay the check. All hands on deck to watch her as she goes.
Looks in the mirror, don't like what she sees.
A little nip. A little tuck. Plastic surgery.
[CHORUS]
She's so plastic.
But she looks fantastic.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
She's kinda tragic, kinda sweet.
Not the kind you take to meet your mama.
She's so plastic.
She's so plastic
[BRIDGE]
All the after-party haunts
All the trendy restaurants
She'll be there, to be seen there.
Janie's got her master plan
To find her oh so plastic man
Groom him. Consume him.
[CHORUS]
She's so plastic.
But she looks fantastic.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
She's kinda tragic, kinda sweet.
Not the kind you take to meet your mama.
She's so plastic.
She's so plastic
