Mama said, "You're a pretty girl. What's in your head, it doesn't matter Brush your hair, fix your teeth. What you wear is all that matters."
Just another stage, pageant the pain away This time I'm gonna take the crown Without falling down, down, down
Pretty hurts, we shine the light on whatever's worse Perfection is a disease of a nation Pretty hurts, we shine the light on whatever's worse You're tryna fix something but you can't fix what you can't see It's the soul that needs the surgery
Blonder hair, flat chest TV says, "Bigger is better." South beach, sugar free Vogue says, "Thinner is better."
Just another stage, pageant the pain away This time I'm gonna take the crown Without falling down, down, down
Pretty hurts, we shine the light on whatever's worse Perfection is a disease of a nation, pretty hurts Pretty hurts, we shine the light on whatever's worse You're tryna fix something but you can't fix what you can't see It's the soul that needs the surgery
Ain't got no doctor or pill that can take the pain away The pain's inside and nobody frees you from your body It's the soul, it's the soul that needs surgery Plastic smiles and denial can only take you so far When the paper sign leaves you in the dark Shattered mirror and the shards of a beautiful girl
Pretty hurts, we shine the light on whatever's worse Perfection is a disease of a nation Oh, we shine the light on whatever's worse Perfection is a disease of a nation Oh, pretty hurts, oh
Are you happy with yourself? Are you happy with yourself?
Pretty hurts Are you happy with yourself?
