My hands are sweating, my stomach churns My breathing increases in pace The insecure feeling returns I'm in a state that's far from grace I really shouldn't be so nervous But I'm running out of time Why do we do this to ourselves? Don't think like that, it will be fine And now I'm standing in the middle of the room Checking on makeup that we're brainwashed to consume Remembering those magazines that tell you that your life's a competition That we're all fighting for someone to fight for You better watch your back You're a piece of meat and the dogs want more It's time to face the fact That you're a piece of meat and the dogs wa
