Miss Kittin & The Hacker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
