Public Enemy - Plastic Nation lyrics

[Public Enemy - Plastic Nation lyrics]

"Tell me what you don't like about yourself"
"Uh, I need liposuction
Under my chin - and everywhere
I hate the bump on my
Nose, I hate my breasts
And my stomach has stretch marks they
Make me sick - I'd like
Those to go away been saving
Up my money for this"

What if she tried to get her
Face erased like it was commonplace
Maybe just crazy because the
Doctor said she could
With new hips and tit's, maybe fuller lips
All it take a day and some pay
For the tuck and nip
Call the Hoover remover
By the time they was through her
Her whole body would look the
Way she thought it should
They shake a splatter of fat and
Move from this to that
Like Frankenstein but blind because
It's in her mind don't know what she felt
Or why she hated herself
Maybe dolls and shows, or maybe videos
Now it's plain to see, the girl loves TV
Because she's chasin' a dream we
Know can never be was all part of the plan
To keep her lookin' right
Thinkin' she could be Janet
If she took the knife
It's not a sin to be thin
She tryin' hard to fit in
Knowin' soon she'll be a citizen
Of the Plastic Nation

Tell me what you don't like about yourself
I wanna change my face, and
I wanna change my body
I wanna change my body
Tell me what you don't like about yourself
I wanna change my face, it would be sogreat

Now she was more crazy than lazy
'til she had a baby
Tryin' to move and improve upon
On what God gave her
Just like the swan she thought
She had it goin on
But never once thought it was wrong
Or that it wouldn't save her
Went to the clinic was in it
For over half a day
As they sliced and diced and
Put the parts in place
Her body's bruised, abused
Cause her mind's confused
Bent on livin a lie but never satisfied
And you know it ain't right
That's somebody's daughter
Now her face is so tight that
You can bounce a quarter
And the feeling ain't back
They said it'll never be back
She's a creature with features
Broken out of order
That's why we try to find a way to get inside
And make you love your life
And never need the knife
It's not a sin to be thin
Don't need to bleed to fit in
Now she's another citizen
Of the Plastic Nation

I need liposuction i'd like bigger calves
I need liposuction
And, I'd also like to go up to a C cup
Tell me what you don't like about yourself
Maybe I could have her ears
Maybe I could have her ears
And I like her nose
Tell me what you don't like about yourself
Because they don't stick out
Like ours does see ​suction sounds​
