This cruel world we live in, you need be wise
They speak of "beauty" but don't be surprised
To find it's all founded by the "father of lies"
They'll tell you that your skin is too white
So strap yourself down under some ultra violet light
Your hair is too oily, or snarly, or dry
So there's a dozen products you'll for sure have to buy
Your hips are too wide, you have "thunder thighs"
But with one small procedure it'll all be disguised
Your lips are too small and your chest is too flat
Yet Botox and implants will easily fix that
Now if you look too common and want to be "your own you"
Just add a few piercings and some gnarly tattoos
If after all these touch-ups you still look fat
Try a new diet, 90 days will solve that
NOW, PLEASE
Don't listen to this madness, disregard all the chatter
Take some time to think about what really matters
The solution to this vanity appears easy to me
Stop changing how you look, start changing how you see
