Plastic Sun Lyrics
Plastic girl with plastic gun
plastic smile under plastic sun
You burn my heart with your frigid stare
rip me off with your greasy hair
I hate you and your fishy friends
I hate you and it never ends
Tired of the times I wound up dead
Tired of the dogs inside your head
Tired of the needles beside your bed
Tired of the crap you keep me fed
Tired of the people you keep misled
Your blood is turning my blue eyes red
Get your hands off my tomato
Cherry juice on a rotten potato
Subway slasher is on my ass
Steals my money and smokes my grass
Watch your back or your dead meat baby
Throw the dog a bone and you still get rabies
plastic smile under plastic sun
You burn my heart with your frigid stare
rip me off with your greasy hair
I hate you and your fishy friends
I hate you and it never ends
Tired of the dogs inside your head
Tired of the needles beside your bed
Tired of the crap you keep me fed
Tired of the people you keep misled
Your blood is turning my blue eyes red
Subway slasher is on my ass
Steals my money and smokes my grass
Watch your back or your dead meat baby
Throw the dog a bone and you still get rabies

song rocks... it sounds angry... sigh sonic youth rocks!
Im not sure if this is about a heroine addict or a speed addict. Speed tastes like plastic and can be shot up (the "Plastic gun" is a syringe).
This is a song about a pop star, i.e. Britney Spears. The way pop culture and tv star heroes define public ideals and worldview. It's all just cheap brainwashing, in fact. That's it, Kim expresses her hate of pop.
this is one of sonic youth's worse songs. thurston wrote it for kim to sing. murray street was just a disaster for the most part.
Arrrgh that song is annoying as hell. I agree with Foogazi on the meaning.
I disagree, I like the song alot, its not their best work by any stretch, but it's still a nice little song. And I liked Murray Street in it's entirety. shrug
I like it.
It's just about artificiality in general - pop music, fashion, designer culture - it's all fake, it's all show.
And yeah, this song annoys the hell out of me, but I guess that's the point - it sounds like its message.
haha yeh this song is really good, the music reminds me of a machine mass producing pop stars for our consumption
I actually quite like this song although it does get repetitive. Don't know about anyone else but I instantly thought of Courtney Love when I heard it and the rivalry which according to Courtney is still ongoing. But Courtney will blab on about anything to get press. Other than that yeah, it's all sex, drugs and botox, pretty literal song. Not bad.
