lyrics

See this pouty face, sad and incomplete
'Cause we can't have nice things?
I'm just a basic bitch, my life's a misery
'Cause we can't have nice things
You don't understand what it does to me
When we can't have nice things

Look at these crappy toys, look at these ugly clothes
I cannot play with this, I can't be seen in those

Why do people starving in India
Mean we can't have nice things?
Look at the cool kids, they're so fabulous
Why can't we have nice things?
How can I give back to the community
When we can't have nice things?

What's your problem, ma? Why would you get me this?
I told you what I wanted, why don't you ever listen?

Tell me, tell me now, why we can't have nice things,
Can't have nice things?
Don't be such a cow, why can't we have nice things,
Can't have nice things?

Is it because we suck, 'cause we're such losers
That we can't have nice things?
If it's not what you do, if it's who you know,
How can we get nice things?
Who do we have to f*ck, who do we have to blow
So we can get some nice things?

Look at these crappy toys, look at these ugly clothes
I cannot play with this, I can't be seen in those

Tell me, tell me now, why we can't have nice things,
Can't have nice things?
Don't be such a cow, why can't we have nice things,
Can't have nice things?

Dracula's Miniskirt Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Glam, Indie Pop, and Post Punk crashed a midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Dracula's Miniskirt was the morning-after hangover.

Dracula’s Miniskirt. Rock and roll with teeth. And legs. From Philadelphia, Transylvania. ... more
