“BORN IN A PLASTIC WORLD”

Nothing in life is real
All is what’s worth more
Find a face that looks just right
That opens the right door

Credit saves my hunger
A card that lights the way
A sink of wasted thunder
Looking for a better day

Chorus: Born in a plastic world
Where plastic boy meets plastic girl
Pay for what you need
Feed your growing greed
We’re born in a plastic world.

I live beyond my wage
I eat just like a king
Henry’s got nothing on me
It gives me reason to sing.

Take to your shallow heart
This line of good advice
Live within your means
Or roll that tumbling dice

Bridge: I’m living on the edge
I’m living on the edge
I’m living on the edge
And born in a plastic world.

Chorus: X 2
