"Superficial (Live In LA)" lyrics - LAWRENCE

[Clyde Lawrence]
This is another song off of our first album, Breakfast
It's called Superficial

[Intro: Clyde Lawrence]
Oh

[Verse 1: Clyde Lawrence]
I'm sick of hearing songs
About the boy who was ignored
And the girls who did him wrong
They say that he was shy, mmm
And when they claimed he wasn't manly
Oh how that made him cry

[Pre-Chorus 1: Clyde Lawrence]
But now he's rich and famous
Such a pity ain't it?
They missed their opportunity
To catch a rising star
But to me it seems obnoxious
Mr. Singer are you not just insecure?
And now you're singin'

[Chorus: Clyde Lawrence]
Why'd they have to be so superficial
Now you wish they'd be more superficial
It seems so weird to me, it's so artificial
So go and write your song
Just know that you're the superficial one

[Post-Chorus: Clyde Lawrence]
You're so superficial

[Verse 2: Gracie Lawrence]
Mr. Folds can take a pass
'Cause that dwarf was so damn angry
When they said to kiss his ass
You know I kissed the man myself
'Cause little Ben can get away with shit
That can't nobody else

[Pre-Chorus 2: Clyde Lawrence & Gracie Lawrence]
Oh so all the other losers
The beggars now the choosers
Who'd've thunk that you would be
The coolest kid in class
And you're laughin' in their faces
On the chance that they have wasted
'Cause the nice guys don't always finish last
And now you're singin'

[Chorus: Clyde Lawrence & Gracie Lawrence]
Why'd they have to be so superficial
Now you wish they'd be more superficial
It seems so weird to me, it's so artificial
So go and write your song
Just know that you're the superficial one

[Post-Chorus: Clyde Lawrence]
You're so superficial
Just know that you're the superficial one
You're so superficial

[Bridge: Clyde Lawrence]
Who are you to say that she's not better off?
She could be married with some children to a doctor in Vermont
And if you're thinking 'bout these girls, it's hypocritical
You're not of their league if you're still stuck in their world

[Pre-Chorus 3: Clyde Lawrence]
And if things for me go well
You know I'll thank those who helped me
And I won't punish no one else
'Cause I don't need your damn regret
I might forgive, I might forget
'Cause I'm the bigger man
Except to maybe say "Go fuck yourself!"
So

[Chorus: Clyde Lawrence]
Why'd they have to be so superficial
Now you wish they'd be more superficial
It seems so weird to me, it's so artificial
So go and write your song
But it's you that is the superficial one

[Outro: Clyde Lawrence & Gracie Lawrence]
You're so superficial
Oh it's you, you're the superficial one
You're so superficial (Ready?)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Why'd they have to be
Why'd they have to be
Why'd they have to be
It is you who is the superficial one
Why'd they have to be
Now you'd wish they'd be
Why'd they have to be
It is you, you're the superficial one

[Ending]
Thank you
