lyrics

Ugly feel a little ugly
Is that girl in the mirror really me?
Maybe there’s no one to blame but me
So I’ll just shove another chocolate in my face
And pray this feeling goes away

Pray this feeling goes away
Pray this feeling goes away
Pray this feeling goes away
But does God really listen anyway?

Lumpy feel a little lumpy
None of these clothes want to fit
And so my charm just fades that little bit more
Lumpy feeling fat and ugly
No it’s not my period so
Hey hey fuck you bud

I’ll loosen this noose around my neck
Got to loosen this noose around my neck
Loosen this noose around my neck
See what it feels like to breathe

Sisters burst your blisters
And spit in the face of those who oppress you!
Yeah Sisters burst your blisters
And spit in the face of those who would oppress you!
Sisters they’re only trying to twist us
So spit in their face
How sweet the taste of Amazing Grace

My skin only keeps me in
Yeah my skin only keeps me in
My skin only keeps me in
So tell me where is Beauty?
What is Beauty?
Where is Beauty?

Ugly
I’m not ugly
I just refuse to conform to those patriarchal norms
Ugly
I’m not ugly
I just refuse to take heed of that misogynistic creed
Ugly 
I’m not ugly
Ugly ugly ugly
C’mon!
