Standing in the stationHolding up placards Making introductionsBored and beautiful No need for small talkJust follow the instructionsKeeping it simpleSix little wordsDon’t need no conjunctionsThey got the looks They got the taffetaThey got the gumptionBRIDGEPretty people got all the moneyYr just holding it until they need itSo you might as well hand it overWhat’s the matter buddy, can’t you read?CHORUSGive us money, we are pretty x 4Is it the First World?Is it the Third World?Is it a prank?Is it performance art?Is it political?Is it something you drank?It doesn’t matterJust give them something They can put in the bankSimple transactionJust hand them yr cash They won’t even say thanksBRIDGE Album cover waiting to happenReal or fake, it’s nothing newIf you want the pretty, you gotta payand that says less about them than it does about youCHORUSGive us money, we are pretty x 8Truth is beautyBeauty is powerPower is truthUp in yr faceLike twin soothsayersSaying the soothBeauty adds valueIn a societyObsessed with youthThey know the deal And they got yr money So there goes yr proofBRIDGE Album cover waiting to happenIt’s just the truth fresh-frozen for twoThey hold the cards and they hold the power How much you give them is up to youCHORUSGive us money, we are pretty x 12

He’s too skinny, She’s too fatLook at the losers, Looking like thatThat’s too small, That’s too bigYou can’t win, The game is riggedEveryone says that looks don’t matterBut we insult each other when we start getting fatterThrowing other people’s feelings under the busJust in case they try to do it to usBRIDGENobody’s perfect and neither are youWe could change it right now and we know what to doBut we’re too afraid of what the neighbors will thinkTo break the chain and rewrite the linkCHORUSWe hate ourselves, That’s a factDon’t know what we’re missing, But we want it backCan’t live with the fact that we don't look like thatSo all we do is hold each other backVERSESelling ourselves and each other shortI’ll see you in hell or I’ll see you in courtTearing down people less perfect than youTo bump yr own ego up a notch or twoWe keep falling for the same old trapsThat we set for ourselves and dropped in our own lapsReinforcing standards we can never attain Unless yr loaded, lucky or have no shameBRIDGENobody’s perfect and neither are youWe could change it right now and we know what to doBut we’re too afraid of what the neighbors will thinkTo break the chain and rewrite the linkCHORUSWe hate ourselves, That’s a factDon’t know what we’re missing, But we want it backCan’t live with the fact that we don't look like thatSo all we do is hold each other backVERSEToo skinny too fat too badIt could have been the best thing you ever hadWe've lost the plot, we’re off the railsWe’ve bottled our vanity and put it on saleWould you rather be lonely than settle for lessWhen less is really more – but I digressBeauty sex and love is right where you find itConformity’s the barrier, don’t hide behind itBRIDGENobody’s perfect and neither are youWe could change it right now and we know what to doBut we’re too afraid of what the neighbors will thinkTo break the chain and rewrite the linkCHORUSWe hate ourselves, That’s a factDon’t know what we’re missing, But we want it backCan’t live with the fact that we don't look like thatSo all we do is hold each other back

When you have a bad dayOr someone makes you madYou say this really sucksBut why is that so badIf someone goes down on you It makes you really happyWhy do you compare it To a thing that’s really crappyBRIDGESo let’s flip it on its head Make somebody’s dayAccentuate the positive Join me when I say:CHORUSIt sucks and I’m happy It sucks and that’s okayIt sucks and I don’t mind at allHave a sucky day!Sucking is a good thingWith the proper attitudeIt’s a new philosophyTo suck is always good!
