If someone talked to you The way you do to you I'd put their teeth through Love yourself And that's what they do The bastards made you Not want to look like you So you pay through the nose To look like someone else All the weirdos on the shelf Love yourself Love yourself Love yourself I go outside and I feel free 'Cause I smash mirrors and fuck TV I go outside and I feel free 'Cause I smash mirrors and fuck TV If someone talked to you The way you do to you I'd put their teeth through Love yourself And that's what they do The bastards made you Not want to look like you So you pay through the nose To look like someone else All the weirdos on the shelf Love yourself Love yourself Love yourself I go outside and I feel free 'Cause I smash mirrors and fuck TV I go outside and I feel free 'Cause I smash mirrors and fuck TV I spoke to God in my dreams last night She said I'd go to heaven if my teeth was white Medicator, medicator, medicator Numb me from these naysayers And their crocodile fears And their crocodile love And their crocodile tears I go outside and I feel free 'Cause I smash mirrors and fuck TV I go outside and I feel free 'Cause I smash mirrors and fuck TV And the magazines Television and magazines Television and magazines Television and magazines
