Description
Society told me

To look like the model they photo shopped
With a smile meant to be true
Like the cover of a magazine
But it should be you

Society told me

It doesn't like the way I dress
Because it's not as colorful as the world around
Well I don't choose to see in color
When perfection keeps me spellbound

Society told me

To learn to laugh
When everyone's laughing at me
And I'm not allowed to listen
To the wails of a banshee

Society told me

That talking makes me an attention whore
Even when the world revolves around it
It told me to be a dumb blonde
Whether or not I have the wit

Society told me

To stereotype others for a laugh
Return the favor
Because when you're the victim
Confidence tends to waver

Society told me

To make media my source
Entertainment tonight my newspaper
To make incessant chatter my music
And let truth and lies mix and taper

Society told me

That I shouldn't eat
While posting an anti-eating disorder campaign
It also toasted to all the hypocrites
While popping the cork on a bottle of champagne

Society told me

That money doesn't matter
While releasing a new name brand
It didn't realize that poverties caviar
Is nothing but a grain of sand

Society told me

That it's not racist
And that gender doesn't matter
But it created unconditional love with conditions
It created every gossip and empty chatter

Society told me

Who to date
When I look nothing like the La Senza model
But to walk with my head up high
Even when I stumble and toddle

Society to me

That when I'm confident
I'm a stuck up bitch
But when I'm down
I'm still the witch

Society told me

That it's my scapegoat
In exchange I am blamed
For unconventional misgivings
I am always shamed

Society read me a bedtime story
It made me weep
But it wasn't a fairy tail
It merely put me to sleep
