Twisted Idea of Beauty

from Make Up Your Mind (EP) by The Photocopies

/

lyrics

Well, that's a twisted idea of beauty in your head, oh
You can't believe one word that industry ever said, no
Don't waste a minute of time
They'll have you thinking you're slime
A target demographic in their eyes
They put a twisted idea of beauty in your head, oh-oh

So, I won't pretend you're perfect
No one could be anyway
And who defines perfection?
No, not them
Everything they sold you last time
It's not good enough today
They want you to believe they're your best friend
They just want you to buy it again and again

Well, that's a twisted idea of beauty in your head, oh
You can't believe one word that industry ever said, no
Don't waste a minute of time
They'll have you thinking you're slime
A target demographic in their eyes
They put a twisted idea of beauty in your head, oh-oh

Oh, you're more than skin deep
Just so long as you avoid the words they say
Don't let 'em grind you down with all those lies
They're designed to kill your confidence
You'd better brush them all away
They'll do whatever it takes to wear you down
Like only their makeover can help you now

Well, that's a twisted idea of beauty in your head, oh
You can't believe one word that industry ever said, no
Don't waste a minute of time
They'll have you thinking you're slime
A target demographic in their eyes
They put a twisted idea of beauty in your head, oh-oh

It's all in the mind
It's all in the mind
It's all in the mind
