Hype

Riding down the highway, staring at the sky.
Mr. Perfect smiling, plastic people walking by.
Is this how I should live my life? You know I've always tried.
But if you look behind the glass, you'll find out that its lies!
What are you trying to sell me?
Is this what my life is supposed to be?

Hype! Oh it sure is fun
Hype! Another case of hit and run
Hype! Come on baby, get you some
Nothing lives up to the hype!
Hype! You always need some more
Hype! We’ll sneak it out your back door
Hype! Listen baby don't you know
Nothing lives up to the hype!

Man of the people, waving from the train.
Sitting in my mansion, don't you know I feel your pain?
Kissing all the babies, and talking family ties,
But if you look between the sheets, you'll find out that they're lies!
What are you trying to sell me?
Is this what my life is supposed to be?

Hype! Oh it sure is fun
Hype! It's a case of hit and run
Hype! Come on baby, get you some
Nothing lives up to the hype!
Hype! You know you always need some more
Hype! Sneaking out your back door
Hype! Listen baby don't you know
Nothing lives up to the hype!
