"Never be afraid to get kicked in the teeth. Let the blood and the bruises define your legacy." ~ Lady Gaga


You are the face of pop
We can't get enough of you,
And we don't want to stop
You're a lie we want to become true

Oh, plastic, you're so beautiful, you're so disgusting
You're called a fake art that is mistrusting
Put your character on, no flaws showing
You're so disgusting, I want you to cover me

I don't want imperfection
You're an infection
I need glamor to heal me
I need legacy to follow me
You're exposed in our minds obsessively
You're a mirror of us, you're the mirror of me

You are the candy of pop
We can't eat enough of you
Natural is the junk of pop
You're a worn-out lie that became the truth

Oh, plastic, you're so beautiful, you're so disgusting
Accused of a fake art that is mistrusting
Put your character on, no flaws showing
You're so beautiful, and I want you in me

I don't want to accept imperfection
You are the world's infection
I need glamor to heal me
I need legacy to follow me
You're exposed in our minds obsessively
You're a mirror of us, you're the mirror of me

Yes, we are plastic,
And our love for you is ecstatic
You're the reflection
Of my idea of perfection
I was the leader at the red light,
I gave in to the green lights
I'd rather be plastic and artful,
than boring and natural

I don't want to accept imperfection
You are pop culture's infection
I need glamor to heal me
I need legacy to follow me
You're exposed to the canvas obsessively
You're a mirror of us, you're the mirror of me
I need plastic to cover me

Plastic's the mirror of them,

Plastic's the mirror of me,

Plastic's the mirror of you.

After reading Andy Warhol's biography, I was inspired to write this.
