E B A But careful there, honey, 'cause your roots are showing now A/G# A F#m Such handsome propaganda, truly business accused of show A A/G# E And they're cuing the applause sign now [Chorus] A C#m Pretty little casualties A in temporary tragedies E A Born from the same place self-doubt grows C#m A Cold and hollow, red carpet ready pose B A Around here "diva" ain't much of a compliment [Interlude] A A C#m A F#m A (x3) A C#m A F#m E [Bridge] A E A What a cherished myth of marketing A E A Propaganda with complexion so clear A D A Tomorrow's insecurities playfully draped D E In the second-hand styles of next year A E A And it's so hard to look away A E A Although somehow harder yet to stare A D A These picture perfect pawns are salesmen now D E Like carpetbaggers shilling their wares F#m D And in reality I really don't care E A 'Cause asshole's a fashion that I never could afford to wear
