We can change you
The way you look, the way you think
We can control you
Your every move, your every thought
Thrown through plastic surgery and mental evaluations
Shock therapy, botox, hair dye, and lipstick
Let’s make you beautiful
Let’s make you fabulous
Let’s make you just like everyone else
Stand out from the crowd
That’s what you’re told to do
But if everyone is standing out
You’re really just blending in,
Aren’t you?
Eating disorders and fast cars
That’s all we really want
Sure, you’re just skin and bones,
But that’s what’s “in”
That is what makes you gorgeous
What do we lose living like this?
What do we give up?
Nothing, right? Nothing.
What about the dream?
Just, that damn dream.
Because all we ever really lose
Is our dignity and our dreams.
