American Tragedy (The)
Beneath Every Pearl
Isn't she lovelyHer hair so prettyBut they never tell you aboutThe things likeHer eating disorderOr the clothes that she's stolenOr the things she says behind your backWhen nobody's lookingOh she's so AmericanaShe's such the prima donnaWhen everyone wants to believeThat somebody's perfectAnd everyone wants to believeThat somebody's realBeneath every pearlThere's a speck of dirtWaiting to be cleanedIsn't he handsomeThe varsity captainBut they never tell you aboutThe things likeHis criminal convictionsOr his date-rape victimsLetras de cancionesOr his drinking problemThat makes his temper go foulOh he's so AmericanaHe's such the prima donnaWhen everyone wants to believeThat somebody's perfectAnd everyone wants to believeThat somebody's real
