Like my ankle, in the seventh grade

He said you're really an ugly girl

But I thanked him, can you believe that, sick

Holding up to his picture, dressing up, everyday

I wanna smash the faces, of those beautiful boys

I said, Christian boys

In my peach, party dress

No one dared, no one cared to tell me
                                   G7+
Where the pretty girls are

Those demigods
A
With Their Nine-Inch Nails And Little Fascist Panties Tucked Inside The Heart Of Every Nice
