Next Big Thing - Badlees

The kings of America were falling out of fashion 
The system systematically 
Was shooting out their lights 
Driven to the level of paparazzi comers
They bid the public an ugly goodnight

Well, the shaved and depraved 
The concealed and the well-healed 
The maintained and the drained 
The walking dead and the well-read 

All have a stake in the model and the make 
Of the latest star attractions

CHORUS 

Can you tell us who's the next big thing 
Can you tell us who's the next big thing 
We know they ain't gonna last
But it's always a blast to devour every second

The girl in the pressure cooker's 
Losing her mystique now 
The brains at The Star 
Say she's dying by degrees
With tales of self abuse 
And a criminal citation
Her sun is setting in the Hollywood sea

Well, the ares and the ain'ts
The gratified and the fried 
The diseased and the pleased 
The endowed and the street crowd 

All want a piece of the latest release
To stroke the head of their condition

CHORUS
