Back To The Basics

(album: Use Your Brain - 1995)

Back to the basics super naturalistic
Baby put away your make up and your lipstick
Your high heels, tight skirts, the rest of all you plastic
I'm telling you it's making you look even more spastic
Hanging at the hot spots looking for attention
Showing off you brand new silicone extension
All the men be staring but they only want to slam it
They couldn't give a fuck about your inside damn it
I know where I wanna go
But in case you didn't know
I'm going back to the basics

Back to the basics, living as you learn
So forget about the money let it burn baby burn
You can't have it all how hard you ever try
No matter what you get there's always more you can buy
Walk it like you talk it forget about our street smart
The friends in you surrounding love you for your real heart
Spending all your money, boy don't waste it
Right about now we're going back to the basics
I know where I wanna go
But in case you didn't know
I'm going back to the basics
Basics, basics, basics...

Don't be ashamed about the way you might look
You don't read a person like you read a comic book
There's a whole lot more than just meets the eye
If you hear something else then it's a goddamn lie
The way you're going out is really getting to me
'Cause some people only see what they think they want to see
If life ain't more than money and a facelift
Right about now we're going back to the basics
I know where I want to go
But in case you didn't know
Know, know
We're going back to the basics
