Beauty Contest

[Verse 1]

Damsel in distress is quite submissive

Look how sun burnt my vanity is

Effeminate human creature

Superficial, seducing detour

I'm going to the mall for the cookie-cutter

The ugly duckling will always suffer

Contaminated standards, don't try to fight it

I better get back on my diet

[Chorus]

Obsessed with the beauty contest

Beauty contest

How'd my vanity get such a mess?

Beauty contest

I'm obsessed

[Verse 2]

Reduce myself, I've got the strict restrictions

Not sexy enough without the regulations

Molten point countdown my fading features

Born to blossom and bloom to perish

[Chorus]

Obsessed with the beauty contest

Beauty contest

I've got to get out of this mess

Beauty contest

I'm obsessed

[Verse 3]

And I've fallen, I can't help myself

I'm feeling envious of all the rest

You're bringing out the lemming in me

A victim of the cattle-call disease

Not easy to be me

I feel swollen

[Chorus]

Obsessed with the beauty contest

Beauty contest

How'd my vanity get such a mess?

Obsessed with the beauty contest

Obsessed with the beauty contest

Beauty contest

I've got to get out of this mess

Obsessed with the beauty contest

Obsessed with the beauty contest

Beauty contest

How'd my vanity get such a mess?

Caught up in the beauty contest [x5]

[Outro]

And I feel swollen

How'd my vanity get such a mess?

[Gwen's niece, Madeline] My vanity's a mess
