"Pretty Wins" lyrics

[Victoria:]
Another party to get thinner for
Another bash to skimp on dinner for
Another evening with the skinny blonde pageant girls
Pretending to be virgins

I'll get to see my mother's best girlfriends
Her acting like they're not depressed girlfriends
I'll get to hear about their yoga instructors
And comparing plastic surgeons

And they'll be pretty, won't they? All of them
That's what they have in common: pretty
From Orlando to Atlantic City
They're with their perfect or perfected noses, boobs, and chins
'Cause pretty wins
Pretty always wins

Should I go on?
Okay then

I'll get to hear about another fun chemical peel again
How young the botox makes them feel again
Plus all the tummy tucks and thigh tucks, and butt tucks
And lower-lip augmentation

But hey! How come, for men, it doesn't seem to matter?
They can be fat if their big wallet's fatter
While all their wives are doing cellulite draining
And vaginal rejuvenation

So, they stay pretty, don't they? All of them
Do what they have to do for pretty
Gotta keep those waistlines itty-bitty
They always tell you beauty goes no deeper than our skins
I call bullshit
Pretty always wins

I know Mom wishes I was prettier
I think her friends all—sort of—pity her
That she got stuck with me and maybe she feels it too
Though she would never say it
And well? The only way for me to win that game
Is not to even play it

'Cause she's so pretty, and she's always been
And here's when I'll be pretty: never
Here's a fact that girls have known forever
We've known it since we left the ooze and shed our beaks and skins

Pretty jumps the line
Pretty grabs the prize
Pretty gets the job
Pretty gets the guys
Pretty takes girls like me and kicks us in the shins
Pretty wins
Pretty always wins
Pretty is what always goddamn
Wins
