Lyrics
[verse]
We're the ones they scrape off the bottom shelf
Wearing glitter borrowed from somebody else
Living loud in a town that wants us gone
Turning every insult to a song
[verse]
They call us trouble, call us second-rate
Doesn't matter, we still stay out late
Painted nails and cigarettes at dawn
We're the beautiful mistake this town was born
[chorus]
We're the trash they can't sweep away
Glamorous wreckage, here to stay
Dress it up and call it art
We're the trash with a diamond heart
[verse]
Broken heels on a broken street
Still we're dancing to a broken beat
Every mirror shows a crooked crown
We wear it proud all over town
[chorus]
We're the trash they can't sweep away
Glamorous wreckage, here to stay
Dress it up and call it art
We're the trash with a diamond heart
[bridge]
Throw us out, we'll climb right back
Shining brighter under every crack
Nothing's wasted, nothing's lost
We're the glitter and we're worth the cost
[chorus]
We're the trash they can't sweep away
Glamorous wreckage, here to stay
Dress it up and call it art
We're the trash with a diamond heart
