[Verse 1]
Canned laughter for applause
You've opened up doors
In and out of their wives
In and out of your smalls

[Refrain]
It's not a BAFTA you're after
You want a million dollar lay
By all means necessary
You will get your way

[Chorus]
It all seems so easy
But so are you
That's what I've heard them say

[Verse 2]
All the make up that you wear
Can't hide the flaws
You work in charity
For your own cause

[Refrain]
You won't be dating a teacher
You'd rather shag a manic street preacher
By all means necessary
You will get your way

[Chorus]
It all seems so easy
But so are you
That's what I've heard them say

[Bridge]
Sex with a stranger
You've been laid in a manger
And you think he's your saviour
Will he leaves his pager?
You could be his daughter
Look what he's bought ya
But the money won't change ya
Of that there's no danger
Now your life's getting darker
It's you that they're after
Fifteen minutes a martyr
Blame it on your father
That dress nearly fits ya
Girl, what's possessed you
Can we please take your picture
You know they'll forget ya
Ooh yeah

[Chorus]
It all seems so easy
But so are you
That's what I've heard them say

[Refrain]
By all means necessary
You will get your way
By all means necessary
You will get your way
By all means necessary
You will get your way

[Outro]
You don't get your way
By giving it away
