Stupid Girl
LYRICS
You pretend you're high
You pretend you're bored
You pretend you're anything
Just to be adored
And what you need
Is what you get
Don't believe in fear
Don't believe in faith
Don't believe in anything
That you can't break
You stupid girl
You stupid girl
All you had you wasted it
All you had you wasted
What drives you on (What drives you on)
Can drive you mad (Can drive you mad)
A million lies to sell yourself
Is all you ever had
Don't believe in love
Don't believe in hate
Don't believe in anything
That you can't waste
You stupid girl
You stupid girl
Can't believe you fake it
Can't believe you fake it
Don't believe in fear
Don't believe in pain
Don't believe in anyone
That you can't tame
You stupid girl
You stupid girl
All you had you wasted
All you had you wasted
You stupid girl
You stupid girl
Can't believe you fake it
Can't believe you fake it
You stupid girl
You stupid girl
Can't believe you fake it
Can't believe you fake it
You stupid girl.

I think Stupid Girl is telling girls and women (or boys) to live their lives for real and not cultivate so-called sophisticated ways of thinking that stop us being in touch with our real selves and real feelings.
You may look back years later and realise that your life has happened and you weren't really part of it because you were too busy building a fantasy life that you wanted to be perfect.

Shirley is ridiculing some of the people she meets. Girls who are ambitious but don't understand that some of the things they caste aside are precious and irreplaceable.

Mmm!? Could be Shirley's telling us how to live. Don't be afraid, don't believe any faith and don't be scared to let go" Clever Garbage, stupid dogbot!
