“Happy Meal” is an unreleased song by Welsh singer-songwritter Marina and The Diamonds.
The lyrics discuss the objectification of women. Marina says people turn women into a product to be consumed, hence the name Happy Meal. She explains that people who do this tend to be lonely and try to fulfill...
[Verse 1]
Polished trophy, pretty whore
Leave the house to feel adored
Evil eaves so soft and sweet
So why'd you let them pass you around like meat?
[Refrain]
You're not even breast
You're not even steak
You're a Happy Meal
Just laid there on a plate
You're available at any hour
They just drive through
Take your power! Power!
You better watch out
I think your meat is starting to turn sour!
[Verse 2]
Groupie, they all lovingly
Fear the things you could achieve
If you thought better of yourself
But you prefer to fuck up your mental health
[Chorus]
You grew up hungry
Hunger pangs for company
You coulda sucked dry all the seas
But nothing seemed to put you at ease
[Verse 3]
They say You always sing in a minor key
Only about things that concern me
I'm happy day-to-day
But this hunger, it never goes away!
[Chorus]
I grew up hungry
Hunger pangs for company
I could've sucked dry all the seas
But nothing seemed to put me at ease
[Post-Chorus]
Like chocolate, sex, cigarettes, and love
No none of these things seem enough
For girls like her and guys like me
Depleted in com-company
Depleted company
Depleted company
[Bridge]
No I don't wanna be saved
I'm not askin' for that
I prefer to be brave
And fill myself up with things
That I know will just fuck with my head
With things that I know will just fuck up my head
Well at least I helped one girl
Crawl out of stranger's beds
And you, I doubt you ever bothered to see
What's going on in her head
Well it's easy to judge
And it's easy to say what you said
[Outro]
No, it's easy, so easy to say
Say what you said
