American dream Quote by Valentinooo_c
“Theres a zoom up in the TV screen Living cancer to our self-esteem yea Cause if this an airless beauty queen But everything aint always what it seems You know what I mean, that Every day somebody say That shes so fast Over a time in her mind She believes that Shes no scurvy because shes curvy But thats such a lie Its eating her alive So she cuts another slice Layercake, layercake She got that layercake And it taste so great She gets it every day To keep the pain away And the boys wanna lay er lay er lay er lay er down We dont want no ultramatic Ultrasensitive, dramatic love Cause thats not a style The girls running wild Why dont you bring no pretty flowers Just come over, ending hour I bet you clean your plate In her layercake Theres a zoom up in the TV screen Living cancer to us perfectly yea So if you sell me American dreams Cause I dont want nothing to show disease You know what I mean? Ye Love love love¦;)”
