It's hard to be a girl these days;
I'll tell you all the reasons.
Girl gotta look good in every season.
Just ask yourself this, girl, who are you pleasin',
Starin' in the mirror, squeezin' and tweezin'?
If I could turn back the hands of time
And have a dime for all the hateful thoughts in my mind,
Like "I can't do this" and "I can't wear that"
"Are my hips too big?" "Does my ass look fat?"
Might as well be superman, not a supermodel.
There ain't nothing you could buy in a fancy bottle
That'll ever let you love your own reflection.
Girl, close that magazine with your introspection.
'Cause you could feel good winter, spring, and fall
And when summer time comes, you gonna have it all.

I'll be your girl for all seasons.
I'll be your girl for all reasons,
Fulfilling all of your needs and
I'll be your girl for all pleasin'.

All the four seasons,
All of your needs, and
Stay with your man for all the wrong reasons.
All of your screamin', all of your demons.
Not enough time in the world for my healin'.

Girl, it's a setup and you're meant to fail.
You'd be better off on a live third rail
Just a few pass the skin test;
They don't care about the rest.
And yo, they mix lies into the cement.
We drink poison water and spend 'til we're spent
But youth it fades, crumbles, and ferments.
Eyelash curl, this is the first world
But vanity don't look good on the girl.
Oh, no, so when they line us up for roll call,
Let me make it clear on which side I fall.
'cause I'm a full grown woman, once a gifted child
And this is Northern State, not Girls Gone Wild!

I'll be your girl for all seasons.
I'll be your girl for all reasons,
Fulfilling all of your needs and
I'll be your girl for all pleasin'.

All the four seasons,
All of your needs, and
Stay with your man for all the wrong reasons.
All of your screamin', all of your demons.
Not enough time in the world for my healin'.

We can try and we can fall and we can fight to make it better.
We can try and we can fall and we can fight to make it better.
We can try and we can fall

I'll be your girl for all seasons.
I'll be your girl for all reasons,
Fulfilling all of your needs and
I'll be your girl for all pleasin'.

All the four seasons,
All of your needs, and
Stay with your man for all the wrong reasons.
All of your screamin', all of your demons.
Not enough time in the world for my healin'.

Clean up your mess and tired of stressin'.
Life and regrets and seeing you less.
I think I can leave by the end of the year.
Fight for your right to a life without fear.

    This is really just a way of saying that girls now really have no individuality, they all try to fit in among a conforming idea of beauty small ass big tits tweezed brows, but the artist is asking the question, who are you doing this for? is it for you or is it for others, the ones with a warped idea of what it means to be beautiful and the media's rules of how you should look. "[F]ight for your right to a life without fear." live the way you want, look the way you want to and don't let others, or the media tell you who/what you should be/look like

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
