  • You got the look, but not the credit
    They wrote the book, on how to sell it

    From cigarettes, to skinny jeans
    You got the money, they got the means

    Oh you upper class daughters, and working class sons
    It's hard to save a dollar, the way the world runs
    You're the target market of a corporate joke
    It won't be so ironic when your daddy is broke

    Surprise surprise, surprise surprise
    You're much better looking when you're in disguise
    Surprise surprise, surprise surprise
    And this revolution has been brought to you by

    Just gotta stop, so you can mimic
    The tortured artist, the jaded cynic

    The latest gadget, is just a gimmick
    Another sucker, born every minute

    Well I'm sick of this town, bringing me down
    A vast world epidemic all around
    I'm sick of this town, bringing me down
    A lost generation trying to act profound

    Oh you upper class daughters, and working class sons
    It's hard to save a dollar the way the world runs
    We got a counterculture you can buy of a shelf
    If you're losing your identity try somebody else

    Surprise surprise, surprise surprise
    You're much better looking when you're in disguise
    Surprise surprise, surprise surprise
    And this revolution has been brought to you by
    Those who seem to think we don't care
    And those who seem to think we're not aware
    Surprise surprise, surprise surprise
    You're much better looking when you're in disguise

    Call the ranks
    Call the ranks
    Call the ranks

    Oh you working class daughters, and upper class sons
    It's hard to save a dollar the way the world runs
    We're the target market of a corporate hoax
    Our generation is a fucking joke

    Surprise surprise, surprise surprise
    You're much better looking when you're in disguise
    Surprise surprise, surprise surprise
    And this revolution has been brought to you by
    Those who seem to think we don't care
    And those who seem to think we're not aware
    Surprise surprise, surprise surprise
    You're much better looking when you're in disguise Writer/s: Aaron Solowoniuk, Ben Kowalewicz, Ian D'sa, Jon Gallant
