Conditioned
Barbie dolls, princesses
Cartoon girls, small dresses
Somehow it always seemed okay
Harmless shows teaching kids
Skinny means accepted
Wonder why we don't feel okay
Thin girls get the character development
While big girls get to just be big
Society turning lies into reality
Breaking news, nine-year-olds have low self-esteem
We have been
Conditioned
Blind to the truth of beauty
Told to critique our bodies
Since we were children
We've been conditioned
Separate stores and sizes
Telling jokes to hide it
Or better yet, just show more skin
"Stop eating?"
"Hey do you ever eat?"
How can existing make people so angry
Too big, too small, too flat, too tall
Worth measured by looks, but it's not our fault
Thin girls get the lead roles and the runways
Big girls too, but only on a separate stage
Preach equality, it's all the hierarchy
Breaking news, everyone hates their bodies
We have been
Conditioned
Blind to the truth of beauty
Told to critique our bodies
Since we were children
We've been conditioned
We've been conditioned
We have been
Conditioned
But we can change the meaning
Of beauty, not our bodies
So that our children
Won't be conditioned
Cartoon girls, small dresses
Somehow it always seemed okay
Harmless shows teaching kids
Skinny means accepted
Wonder why we don't feel okay
Thin girls get the character development
While big girls get to just be big
Society turning lies into reality
Breaking news, nine-year-olds have low self-esteem
We have been
Conditioned
Blind to the truth of beauty
Told to critique our bodies
Since we were children
We've been conditioned
Separate stores and sizes
Telling jokes to hide it
Or better yet, just show more skin
"Stop eating?"
"Hey do you ever eat?"
How can existing make people so angry
Too big, too small, too flat, too tall
Worth measured by looks, but it's not our fault
Thin girls get the lead roles and the runways
Big girls too, but only on a separate stage
Preach equality, it's all the hierarchy
Breaking news, everyone hates their bodies
We have been
Conditioned
Blind to the truth of beauty
Told to critique our bodies
Since we were children
We've been conditioned
We've been conditioned
We have been
Conditioned
But we can change the meaning
Of beauty, not our bodies
So that our children
Won't be conditioned
