Women want a hero,
Men want a movie star,
Nobody wants to be a zero,
Nobody's happy the way they are.
Women want to look younger,
Spend thousands on surgery and creams,
Men want to look stronger,
Outdo each other, even on the same teams.
Not many men look like Clooney,
Not many women look like Gisele,
We're living in the movies,
Reveal a secret, and someone will tell.
Everyone has to be a liar,
the liar is the one you trust now,
"Does this make me look fatter?"
"No dear, you don't look like a cow."
Turn on the television, let's see,
what lessons we can learn today,
Everybody is better than me,
Everybody's got to be one way.
So let's knock the absurd notion,
of being an individual person,
one day they'll make a magic potion,
so we can all enjoy being the same.
Am I not the right size?
Oh damn it must be a sin!
Am I not buying into these lies?
Conformity is in!
