Perhaps you had a different version, but I hear the lyrics differently.
It should be:
If all we talk about is money
Nothing will be funny honey
Now that everyone's a critic
It's making my mascara runny
If we only talk about the Heathers
Making it together is crazy
If we don't get a new situation for our busted nation,
We're lazy
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
Please make it be
It's gonna be
Now if a princess becomes human
Don't stone her on a talk show
You'll ruin
'Cause there's a fine line between a skewer
And a decent sense of humor
And all the ones who really hurt us
They should be arrested for murders
And then all the cameras were turned on to
Some skinny naked blonde eating burgers
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
Please make it be
Make it be
It's gonna be x3
The Heathers reference is to the movie where these pretty and wealthy but messed up girls waste their lives and create all sorts of drama in the lives of others and in their own. I think she's using this to say that our culture spends a lot of time giving the Paris' and Lindsays and Britneys of the world too much attention. We concern ourselves with such trivial trash when we should be focusing on more important issues.
I think the second verse is just a comment on how our society is obsessed with image and weight and food.
The song itself is her way of saying look at the condition of our society.Letting ourselves be constantly concerned with the state of the economy or our body image or the lives of others isn't getting us anywhere. We need more positive, intelligent images and thoughts because otherwise, we're just sucking the joy out of life.
