McCafferty
An indie rock song released by the band McCafferty that is commonly interpreted as a song about self-hatred of your own body. This song has basically been adopted as a song about transgenderism because of how heavily trans people like me can relate to it.
[Verse 1]
And I know that you're an asshole
And I know that you do not need help
And I know that you're in counseling
And that counseling, won't help
And I know that you will break me
And I know that you won't make it fast
So I will writhe away my skin and bones
And you can kill me in the grass
She's saying, "I just drove so far to see you
But I'm not sure that I want your kids."
He's saying, "Oh my god, I should've known that
That was then, and this is is this."
[Chorus]:
She says, "Oh my body, I hate this body
I'm a skeleton, and I am dead and gone
And when I die, he peels off all my skin
And he staples it back up to his."
She says, "Oh my body, I hate this body
I'm a skeleton, and I am dead and gone
And when I die, he peels off all my skin
And he staples it back up to his."
These bones
[Verse 2]
And he is shaking at the knees
Because he never has the words
He says that "I can't do this anymore
The way you act in public sickens me
And I hate you and your fucking friends
And the way they try to use me."
[Chorus]
She says, "Oh my body, I hate this body
I'm a skeleton and I am dead and gone
And when I die, he peels off all my skin
And he staples it back up to his."
She says, "Oh my body, I hate this body
I'm a skeleton and I am dead and gone
And when I die, he peels off all my skin
And he staples it back up to his."
These bones
[Bridge]
Whoa
[Verse 3]
I never told you, how much I need you
Back in November, when we were broken
Now it's October, I am alone
But I am awake, and trapped in this place
And I never told you, how much I need you
Back in November, when we were broken
Now it's October, I am alone
But I am awake, and trapped in this place
[Chorus]
She says, "Oh my body, I hate this body
I'm a skeleton, and I am dead and gone
And when I die, he peels off all my skin
And he staples it back up to his."
She says, "Oh my body, I hate this body
I'm a skeleton, and I am dead and gone
And when I die, he peels off all my skin
And he staples it back up to his."
These bones
They say, "Oh our bodies, we hate our bodies
We are skeletons, and we are dead and gone
And when we die, he peels off all our skin
And he staples it back up to his."
These bones
