Cheap Emotions - Rich Kids

Now and then I’ve know pleasure, now and then I’ve known pain

But now it seems that all I do is all in vain

There’s always these who don’t half come it, who they are they know well

They play at life with tricks and lies, and I can tell

It’s cheap the way they carry on full of spite and so headstrong

To think that they could get somewhere instead of building castles in the air

With cheap emotion, and nothing more

It’s cheap emotion, and that’s for sure

You’ll look at me tears crocodile, oh so eager, «Honey, please,»

The way you turn on the heartache, oh yeah?

Well my heart bleeds

You see the truth is always shallow, the truth is always hard to bear

Maybe that‘s why we’re building ‘round us, so many castles in the air

It’s cheap and tough and so unfair, I suppose that’s the cross you’ve got to

bear

For cheap emotion, you get what for

With cheap emotion, nothing more

The way you go about things, oh very good indeed

But tongue in cheek devotion, is hardy what I need

With cheap emotion, nothing more

Cheap emotion, you get what for

Such cheap emotion, you just can’t win

With cheap emotion, it’s a crying shame

Cheap emotion, nothing more

Cheap emotion, you get what for

Cheap emotion, you just can’t win

Cheap emotion, it’s a crying shame
