Why Is She in Pain - Battery

She was to be beautiful

For our beauty-starved eyes

She’s dying, she’s dying, she’s dying

But we never seem to mind

Her cry is in her toothpick legs

And attention-hungry smile

And as it goes on, the transfer occurs

From magazine to child

But the only thing these beauty magazines leave

Is low self-esteem

The only thing they leave is a low self-esteem

We’re brainwashed to think that thin is pretty

But if beauty is love, why is she in pain?

I’m guilty, i’m guilty, i’m guilty

It’s time we placed the blame

Let’s also blame the media

And face the fact that this is insane

And spit in the face of their so-called beauty

And make a fucking change

(Ref.)

We have got to open our eyes

If we want to make a change

We have got to open our eyes

If we want to make a change

Because there are sick and starving girls

Throwing up after they eat

So they can look thin and pretty

For the people they meet

The thing that scared me the most

Is there are people that I hold close

That are dying

And I never even noticed
