Vanity

[Verse 1]

They won't find you interesting

A symptom of the industry of vanity

A city child with a pretty smile

An appetite for limelight

When the time's not right

[Chorus]

If the valve breaks, then the earth quakes

And misery finds a way to put you in your place

Now is just a taste

[Verse 2]

Time to take a number

Anxious minds are under

So much influence

It seemed like opportunity

To profit from the beauty

That you always hid

It's never a shame to be ashamed

[Chorus]

If the valve breaks, then the earth quakes

And misery finds a way to prey

If the valve breaks, then the earth quakes

And history finds a way to say

If the valve breaks, then the earth quakes

And misery finds a way to put you in your place

And now is just a taste

Now's just a taste

[Chorus]

If the valve breaks, then the earth quakes

And misery finds a way to prey

If the valve breaks, then the earth quakes

And history finds a way to say

If the valve breaks, then the earth quakes

And misery finds a way to prey

If the valve breaks, then the earth quakes

And history finds a way to put you in your place

And now is just a taste

Now it's just a taste

[Outro]

When vanity raids your intellect

Faces, chins, chests, and limbs

When vanity raids your intellect

Your mind's erasing
