Thank God For Girls

On A Bed Of Nails

You expect this glittery dress

To make you look pretty and lean

But really all this obsession's done

Is made you boring and mean

You think losing your virginity

Will make you popular and cool

But if that's your reasoning

Then you've been played for a fool

You want this bed of nails

To make you fit in with the crowd

But all you get from hurting yourself

Is a load of loathing and doubt.
