Story Behind The Song

It's just a funny story I made up. It's actually part two of my song "Dead Girlfriend Song". When paired together, they're like a psychological thriller with a strange twist.

Song Description

Stupid Girl #1 sees a news story about a women who was murdered by an ex-con boyfriend. Stupid Girl #1 then begins to believe that all the (stupid) things she does really aren't so bad- she reasons that at least she's not dating a convict, she's not that dumb!

Lyrics

Came home from work, 'cause people fired me from there
Cuz I'm always late, and 'cause I never care

Turned on the news, it almost made me hurl
Some psycho guy just killed his girl
And it wasn't even his first offense
Her best friend found the bloody path
From the piano to the bath
Another victim of domestic violence

Sucks to be her -- I may be smokin' seven packs a day, sittin', gettin' fat
But at least I'm not dating a convict, I'm smarter than that

I'm smarter, etc.

Out on the town, I always meet a lot of guys
Some take me home, and others take me by surprise

No steady dates, just one-night-stands
'Cause I like livin' by my glands
I've had more men than I've even seen
And though it often goes unprotected
I know I've never been infected
They're so hot, they've got to be clean

I'm having fun! So what if I'm a sucker for wherever the party's at?
Oh well, at least I'm not dating a convict, I'm smarter than that

I'm smarter, etc.

–
I live my life the smartest ways
I use astrology to guide my days
I trust the man who read my palm
He said to go ahead and be a mom
--

And every day I buy another pair of pants
By bouncin' checks against another cash advance

I'm gettin' by in life, it ain't so hard
Payin' all my bills by credit card
Then claimin' every month that I never signed 'em
You know it seems my job is never done
Cuz every week I need another one
But I don't worry cuz it's easy to find 'em

Just watch me go! You know I'll burn up double all my money in nothing flat
But at least I'm not dating a convict, I'm smarter than that
