Marilyn Moore Lyrics

Cover art for Marilyn Moore lyrics by Sonic Youth

This song is making an analogy between Marilyn Monroe (a Hollywood icon who had a troubled existence) and an average woman with her own, everyday kind of troubles. Kind of a deconstruction of media myths, humanizing idolized people...typical SY stuff for the period. Which is to say, it's a fascinating and great song.
