Diamonds Are Not a Girl's Best Friend
diamonds are not a girl's best friend
diamonds are not a girl's best friend
though they might shine so bright
is it worth the fear in the village in the night
diamonds are not a girl's best friend
though they might shine forever
severed parts aren't quite as cute to mend
manners they say on subject
don't offend
but is a profit driven beauty worth the terror greed can send
shimmering light shines so bright
unheard voices faint with fright
but the radio reports from the front don't mention
if the village miners are every coming home
they'd rather speak of hollywood milan and rome
slaves to fashion they all bow
tearing people limb from limb
gem to golden cow
monopoly money pushes these terms in
diamonds aren't a girls best friend
slaves to fashion they all bow
glowing ring on finger
gem to golden cow
thoughts of amputation linger
shimmering light
shines so bright
but is it worth the fear in the village in the night
in the diamond mining villages
