You tell all the sweet smiling children About that one great pink candy love That's waiting somewhere in the dark To change our lives and make us all worthwhile But we already are, you just don't know it You tell all the sweet smiling children That you need your fine hairsprays and combs Lipsticks, perfumes, fine cars and homes So that when we find that love it will be true But is already is, we just don't know it Yeah, then you watch all those sweet smiling children Stumble in the darkness you have made Looking for the dream that's never quite there And cry cause we can't win the games we play Ah but you sell a lot of hairspray that way, don't you?
