Battery - Why Is She In Pain? lyrics

rate me

She wtas to be beautiful<br />

For our beauty-starved eyes.<br />

She's dying, she's dying, she's dying<br />

But we never seem to mind.<br />

Her cry is in her toothpick legs<br />

And attention-hungry smile, <br />

And as it goes on, the transfer occurs<br />

From magazine to child<br />

<br />

But the only thing these beauty magazines leave<br />

Is low self-esteem<br />

The only thing they leave is a low self-esteem<br />

<br />

We're brainwashed to think that thin is pretty, <br />

But if beauty is love, why is she in pain?<br />

I'm guilt, I'm guilty, I'm guilty.<br />

I's time we placed the blame, <br />

Let's also blame the media, <br />

And face the fact that this is insane, <br />

And spit in the face of their so-called beauty<br />

And make a change<br />

<br />

[Ref.]<br />

<br />

We have got to open our eyes<br />

If we want to make a change<br />

We have got to open our eyes<br />

If we want to make a change<br />

<br />

Because there are sick and starving girls<br />

Throwing up after they eat<br />

So they can look thin and pretty<br />

For the people the meet.<br />

And the thing that scared me the most<br />

Is there are people that I hold close<br />

That are dying<br />

And I never even noticed
