Pretty People
Classic Jack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't need your money or publicity
Don't need your help or your fake sympathy
You're just a leach stuck to the back of me
Shoving fame down my throat doesn't mean a thing
Sellouts all want to put a price on me
After something bigger you can't play my game
This world deserves a better villain I'm giving them what they crave
Never been one for winning never held up a trophy to be their king
This world deserves a better a hero who wants to fight the right way
Sad facts the pretty people always seem do the ugly things in life
The ugly things in life
You'll never
Take me down
You had your chance but you're so fucked now
This world deserves a better villian I'm giving them what they crave
Never been one for winning never held up a trophy to be their king
This world deserves a better a hero who wants to fight the right way
Sad facts the pretty people always seem do the ugly things in life
This is for the hate all the anger all the bad talks
This for frustration all the bullshit all the brain fog
This is for the days and the weeks and the years lost
This is cause you lied and tried to hide
That's your own fault
This world deserves a better villain I'm giving them what they crave
Never been one for winning never held up a trophy to be their king
This world deserves a better a hero who wants to fight the right way
Sad facts the pretty people always seem do the ugly things in life
"Pretty People" is a song by Classic Jack that talks about how people who are popular or famous seem to always do the ugly things in life. The song starts off with a clear message that the singer does not need the money or the publicity that comes with fame. He talks about how he does not need people's fake sympathy and how those who try to latch onto him are just leeches.
One interesting aspect of the song is how Classic Jack talks about how the world deserves a better villain. He is essentially saying that he is willing to take on the role of the villain so that people can have someone to root against. He also talks about how he has never been one for winning or being a king, which could be interpreted as him not being interested in conventional success.
The last part of the song is particularly interesting because it talks about how the singer is doing this for all the hate, for all the frustration, and for all the lost years. He is essentially saying that he is taking on the role of the villain as a form of revenge against those who have wronged him.
Overall, "Pretty People" is a song about how fame and popularity can corrupt people and how sometimes, the ugliest things in life come from those who are considered beautiful.
