a teaspoon of greed and a quarter cup of apathy,
that's the recipe for making beauty a commodity

(clap)...IS A COMMODITY
(clap)...IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT
(clap)...YA SOON WILL
your butt's too big and round
your ears are too big for that head
if your body don't suceed then force it instead
if what your body needs is all the media says,
then SUCK IT UP, BABY
that's the price you've got to pay...for
(clapping beauty chorus)
well, hold on just a minute
i don't fit into this mould
my body is not something that can be bought and sold
consider this a declaration that i own my own anatomy and a confirmation that i reject conformity!
(clap)...BEAUTY!

(clap)...BUT WE DON'T LIKE IT
(clap)...AND SO IT'S GOT TO STOP!
