Get Seduced
The Faint Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tabloid magazines are made in hell
The falling stars are getting sucked down
We get seduced easy
We get
We get seduced!

Sell us magazines about the stars
And watch us stare into the void
What not to wear to be a wart
Who's cant escaped on camera
Now these creeps are climbing up the trees
The neighbors calling the police
And snapping pictures by the pool
We seduced so easy

Check out clerks all funny towards
The page "an a-list star shaves her brains"
While starving millionaires complain
TV makes your ass fat

Tell us!
How rad is it living in a microscope?
Broadcast into every single living room
Hot lights on your love life
Let me buy
Close up tabloid shots of your cellulite

Hypnotizing pages of advice
From their demented fashion do's or dies

Who put this hook inside my mouth, you
Your getting so obsessed its all we talk about
Were passive hounds on the couch

How rad is it living in a microscope?
Broadcast into every single living room
Hot lights on your love life
Its not love thats sex on the first night

How rad is it living in a microscope?
Broadcast into every single living room
Hot lights on your love life




Let me buy
Close up tabloid shots of your cellulite
