Back to the basics, supernaturalistic
Baby, put away your make up and your lipstick
High heels, tight skirts, the rest of all your plastic
I'm telling you, it's making you look even more spastic

Hanging at the hot spots, looking for attention
Showing off your brand new silicone extension
All the men'll be staring but they only want to slam it
They couldn't give a fuck about your inside, damn it

Back to the basics, living as you earn
So forget about your money, let it burn, baby, burn
You can't have it all, how hard to ever try
No matter what you get there's always more you can buy

So walk it like you talk it, forget about your street smart
The friends in your surrounding love you for your real heart
Spending all your money, boy, don't waste it
Right about now we're going back to the basics

I know where I want to go
But in case you didn't know I'm going
Back to the basics

Don't be ashamed about the way you might look
Because you don't read a person like you read a comic book
Here's a whole, lot more than meets the eye
And if you hear something else then it's a goddamn lie

The way you're going out is really getting to me
'Cos people only see what they want to see
If life ain't more than money and a facelift
Right about now we're going back to the basics

I know where I want to go
But in case you didn't know I'm going
Back to the basics
