They Set You Up

from Minnie And Moskowitz by John Dunbar

/

about

Sung by Minnie Moore to her friend Florence

lyrics

Movies are a conspiracy
Only made to manipulate
At this age it's so clear to see
They train you to wait

Wait for someone to come along
Sweep you right off your feet
Someone handsome and kind and strong
You won't ever meet

They Set You Up They Set You Up
They Set You Up They Set You Up, Florence
But then we never do wise up
That all the guys up
On the screen
Are not on the scene

You go out and start looking but it just doesn't happen
But you keep looking and all you can find are nothing but very crap men
Silly asses are out there, crave your body and your soul
And once they get it they soon realize they'd rather play another role

They Set You Up They Set You Up
They Set You Up They Set You Up, Florence
But then we never do wise up
That all the guys up
On the screen
Are not on the scene

There's no Charles Boyer, I never met Humphrey Bogart or Clark Gable
They don't exist, well not today, they're all part of one long fable

They Set You Up They Set You Up
They Set You Up They Set You Up, Florence
But then we never do wise up
That all the guys up
On the screen
Are not on the scene
