Society Killed the Teenager
Society killed the teenager
They told her she had to be thin
She didn't eat and starved herself
In hopes she just could win
Society killed the teenager
When they found out she didn't eat
They whispered behind her back
And called her an anorexic freak
Society killed the teenager
Told her she had to look good
She caked on makeup, fried her hair
And did everything she could
Society killed the teenager
They called her a w****
But she did what they said
So she didn't know what for
Society killed the teenager
Just because she was smart
They called her a nerd
She stopped so she could get a new start
Society killed the teenager
They said she was dumb
She was so confused
She had been beginning to think she won
Society killed the teenager
All the mean words spoken
Have left this
Innocent girl broken
Society killed the teenager
She saw her reflection and cried
She just didn't get it
She had really tried
Society killed the teenager
She wanted to relieve the pain
She cut 'til she bled
They had gotten into her brain
Society killed the teenager
They said she only wanted attention
Society could have stopped it
Could have caused and intervention
Society killed the teenager
To fit in was all she wanted
She tried so hard
But now she's lost it
Society killed the teenager
The whole time they were there
They sat and watched
Yet they didn't care
Society killed the teenager
She was finally done
The note she left beside her body read
'Congrats society. You've won.'
Society killed the teenager
They were the culprit of this murder
She had cried for help
But the pretended they hadn't heard her
Society killed the teenager
They pretended not to know
They said things like, how beautiful she was
And how they loved her so
