about

Diamond is a song all about dressing up, showing off and living outside your means to try and impress people. It's the ugly side of humans driven by capitalism, money, greed and consumerism. It's the ego driven obsession with possession and status. You can't buy substance or a personality.

lyrics

Sorted, you can hardly wait
Yeah, it's gonna be great
Life works out the way you plan it.
Linen, and your clothing all white
Yeah you sleep well at night
Cocktail of Diazepam and
Perfect on a pedestal, heaven instead of hell
Hardships a struggle, you can't get
It says a lot about your sheltered life, just a stay at home wife
Reality TV start in waiting

Smiling, styling, all of the world has to know
If you're shining, diamond, shimmer is all just for show.

Silver spoon up your ass, got an issue of class
Looking down on the empty handed.
And higher education breeds ego, query 'what do you mean though'
Denying your own advantage.
We scratch off the perfect surface skin, we don't need looking in,
The substance is all thin and tripe.
Its perfect yards from your credit cards, it doesn't look that hard.
I don't really understand all the hype.

Smiling, styling, all of the world has to know
If you're shining, diamond, shimmer is all just for show.

* Ahhh ahh ah ahhh ah ah * bridge

Smiling, styling, all of the world has to know
If you're shining, diamond, shimmer is all just for show.

Wasted Energy
by Press Club

supported by 6 fans who also own “Diamond”

The Lyrics are funking awesomn. Specially when the Singer (she is like an energy ball live) is obsessing about her love and can not get over it. Identify so much. Melodic Punkrock at it's best!!!! <3 punky87
