Lyrics
0:02Mr third world your first question
0:07What is your aspiration in life
0:10Oh my aspiration in life
0:14Would be to be happy
0:35Mama said you're a pretty girl
0:39What's in your head it doesn't matter
0:43Brush your hair fix your teeth
0:47What you wear is all that matters
0:50Just another stage pageant the pain away
0:57This time I'm gonna take the crown
1:01Without falling down down
1:06Pretty hurts shine the light on whatever's worse
1:12Perfection is a disease of a nation pretty hurts pretty hurts
1:19Pretty hurts shine the light on whatever's worse
1:27Trying to fix something but you can't fix what you can't see
1:31It's the soul that needs the surgery
1:38Blonder hair flat chest
1:42TV says bigger is better
1:45South beach sugar free
1:49Vogue says thinner is better
1:53Just another stage
1:56Pageant the pain away
2:00This time I'm gonna take the crown
2:04Without falling down down down
2:07Pretty hurts shine the light on whatever's worse
2:15Perfection is a disease of a nation pretty hurts pretty hurts Pretty hurts
2:22Pretty hurts pretty hurts shine the light on whatever's worse
2:29Trying to fix something but you can't fix what you can't see
2:34It's the soul that needs the surgery
2:37Ain't got no doctor no computer can take the pain away
2:40The pain's inside and nobody frees you from your body
2:44It's the soul it's the soul that needs surgery
2:48It's my soul that needs surgery
2:52Plastic smiles and denial can only take you so far
2:55And you break when the paper sign leaves you in the dark
2:59You left a shattered mirror and the shards of a beautiful girl
3:06Pretty hurts shine the light on whatever's worse pretty hurts
3:14Perfection is a disease of a nation pretty hurts pretty hurts
3:21Pretty hurts shine the light on whatever's worse
3:28Trying to fix something but you can't fix what you can't see
3:33It's the soul that needs the surgery
3:35When you're alone all by yourself
3:37And you're lying in your bed
3:41Reflection stares right into you
3:45Are you happy with yourself
3:49It's just a way to masquerade
3:52The illusion that's been shed
3:56Are you happy with yourself
4:00Are you happy with yourself yes
Mr third world your first question What is your aspiration in life Oh my aspiration in life Would be to be happy 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 Pretty hurts shine the light on whatever's worse Perfection is a disease of a nation pretty hurts pretty hurts Pretty hurts shine the light on whatever's worse Trying to 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 shine the light on whatever's worse Perfection is a disease of a nation pretty hurts pretty hurts Pretty hurts Pretty hurts pretty hurts shine the light on whatever's worse Trying to 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 no computer 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 It's my soul that needs surgery Plastic smiles and denial can only take you so far And you break when the paper sign leaves you in the dark You left a shattered mirror and the shards of a beautiful girl Pretty hurts shine the light on whatever's worse pretty hurts Perfection is a disease of a nation pretty hurts pretty hurts Pretty hurts shine the light on whatever's worse Trying to fix something but you can't fix what you can't see It's the soul that needs the surgery When you're alone all by yourself And you're lying in your bed Reflection stares right into you Are you happy with yourself It's just a way to masquerade The illusion that's been shed Are you happy with yourself Are you happy with yourself yes
