— 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 moфney for this.
[Verse 1: Chuck D]
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 tits, 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-ah
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 chasing a dream we know can never be.
Was all part of the plan to keep her looking right,
Thinking she could be Janet, if she took the knife,
It's not a sin to be thin, she tryna hard to fit in,
Knowing 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 so great.
[Verse 2: Chuck D]
Now she was more crazy than lazy 'til she had a baby,
Tryna move and improve upon on what God gave her,
Just like the swan she thought she had it going 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 living 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.
— 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 so great.
— 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?
