Butterfly Jones - The Systematic Dumbing Down Of Terry Constance Jones lyrics

I used to be an actress Doing plays out in the lot Then I became the world's most famous Female astronuat My drawings drew the ma**es At my one-man woman shows And I must have saved a thousand lives With my trusty firehose But now my hose are stockings And they run when I go walking And I can't seem to get my High heels off the ground Though my focus is much thinner I will still be skippng dinner 'Cause I've really got to lose Those thirteen pounds It's the systematic dumbing down Of Terry Constance Jones She used to be a surgeon Now she operates the phones With all her magazines and TV queens She still feels so alone It's the systematic dumbing down Of Terry Constance Jones Well I played my share of baseball And I beat the boys at pool I was smart and silly way before I found out about bein' cool Now it seems it's never ending And my fingernails need tending And there's no way in hell I'll ever be the Best Looking Back I can't remember As I gaze at Miss September My life would be so great If I just had those Breasts It's the systematic dumbing down Of Terry Constance Jones She used to be a chemist Now she wants to be a clone With all her magazines and TV queens She still feels so alone It's the systematic dumbing down Of Terry Constance Jones Now boys will be boys They want toys they can play with Noise so much noise Can't hear the voice of yesterday With all her magazines and TV queens Lean Cuisines and wrinkle creams Baywatch Babes and dishonest Abes Who lie like rugs to get between your legs And the newest buys that advertise Blue contact eyes and thinner thighs And who's the bomb And Hollywood moms With their perfect hair And their own dot coms And the Howard Stern tarts We call shock art And the latest weight loss Of Calista Flockhart Perhaps maybe it's not too late To go resurrect my childhood fate But that little girl will have to wait 'Cause tonight I've got a real big date And dammit I'm out of tight white blouses And besides mother said People who live in gla** houses Should really not throw stones It's the systematic dumbing down Of Terry Constance Jones
