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 worst
Perfection is a disease of a nation pretty hurts pretty hurts
Pretty hurts we shine the light on whatever's worst
We try 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 we shine the light on whatever's worst
Perfection is a disease of a nation pretty hurts pretty hurts pretty hurts
Shine the light on whatever's worst
We try 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 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
It's my soul that needs surgery
Plastic smiles and denial can only take you so far
Then you break when the fake facade leaves you in the dark
You left with shattered mirrors and the shards of a beautiful girl
Pretty hurts we shine the light on whatever's worst
Perfection is a disease of a nation pretty hurts pretty hurts
Shine the light on whatever's worst
Are you happy with yourself
