All Skin Lyrics

Skin Lyrics

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



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



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



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



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



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



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
