Life on MTV
Miss Kittin & The Hacker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A new crime in town
Minds go down and down these days
You smile so much when you see
Life on MTV

Such a nice car crash
Stronger than the flask she had last night
Violence on the street
Oh honey, you're so sweet like this!

I'm the next hit
Jobs are full of that shit, you know?
Eat that reality
Life on MTV

Take a piece of love
The bitch called Simone
She's so sexy
Like life on MTV

Smoking your shit, and
He don't give a damn, really
He's only here for you to make
His life on MTV

Life on MTV

Life

Take a piece of love
See that bitch called Simone?




She's really sexy
Like life on MTV
