Fashion Victim - Don McLean

I hate fashion, I hate it with a passion

Are you a fashion victim?

Are you a fashion victim?

Are you a fashion victim?

I bet you are

I see them on the video, they’re wearin' fashion shoes

They’re singin' 'bout their troubles, they never paid their dues

The rhythm’s in the background, the fashion’s in the front

They tricked us out of music with this latest fashion stunt

I hate fashion, I hate it with a passion

Are you a fashion victim?

Are you a fashion victim?

Are you a fashion victim?

I bet you are

The candidate is handsome, he’s wearin' tailored clothes

He’s following the pollster everywhere he goes

His teeth have all been straightened, his hair is very full

His stupidity is hidden by this image-making bull

I hate fashion, I hate it with a passion

Are you a fashion victim?

Are you a fashion victim?

Are you a fashion victim?

I bet you are

School is just a showcase where fashion children go

As long as they look cool, there’s little they should know

Ideas have no power when people cannot read

Fashion can go sour, it’s not cool to be in need

I hate fashion, I hate it with a passion

Are you a fashion victim?

Are you a fashion victim?

Are you a fashion victim?

I bet you are

How did the land of Jefferson, how did the land of King

Become the land of hamburgers and raisins that can sing?

Roosevelt was cripple, Lincoln was a geek

They’d never get elected, their clothes were never chic

I hate fashion, I hate it with a passion

Are you a fashion victim?

Are you a fashion victim?

Are you a fashion victim?

I bet you are
