The Skin

[Verse 1]
She's a fat girl
You could never love that girl
You and all your skinny friends makin' jokes at her expense
Cracks about her backside, its resemblance to an elephant's

[Chorus]
Does it feel good to tear her down?
Take her, make her less than human
She's heard every word and
She can't help the skin she's in

[Verse 2]
He's a black boy
You wouldn't want to be that boy
He's a jive talkin', ghetto dwellin', streetcorner crack sellin'
Welfare cheatin', pickaninny eatin' watermelon

[Chorus]
Does it feel good to tear him down?
Take him, make him less than human
He's heard every word and
He can't help the skin he's in

[Bridge]
We are the ugly, the weak and the wrong
Trapped in your world where you won't let us belong
When you cut me with your eyes
You know I die a million times
I'm still alive

[Verse 3]
You're lovely
But deep inside I know you're ugly
Though your face displays the promise of a Venus or Adonis
Still your fragile bleeding ego takes its pain out on the rest of us

[Chorus]
And it feels good to tear you down
Sue me, I'm only human
That only makes it worse, 'cause
You can't help the skin you're in
