To Look Like You Lyrics
We like your face
We like your style
Everything about you seems so worthwhile
We like your hair
We like your nose
Everybody gonna get one of those
the bullets for the magazine
Paparazzi shooting like soldiers in their teens
I'm just a teenage sitting in my room with the bullet for a mirror looking for a broom
To look like you...
To look like you...
I'm gonna burn my skin
I'm gonna cut my hair
I'm gonna grab a bit of me and stick it over there
I'm gonna take my meal of two white pills
Cause I'm gonna look like you, yes i will
Gonna sell right out to the great white dream
Cause I too want to be a beauty queen
I'm just a teenage sitting in my room with the bullet for a mirror looking for a broom
Cause I'd do anything in this world to look like you
To look like you
I'd do anything in this world to look like you
To look like you, oh
To look like you...
To look like you...ohhh
To look like you...
To look like you...
I'm gonna buy that mud and apply that paint
Yes i put it on so thick I wonder why I ain't
I'm gonna buy everything that you do sell
Your clothes, your lips, your rocks, your smells
The bullets for the magazines
Cause I want everybody to see me
I'm just a teenage sitting in my room with the bullet for a mirror looking for a broom
Cause I'd do anything in this world to look like you
To look like you
I'd do anything in this world to look like you
To look like you, oh
We like your face, we like your style
And everything about you seems so worthwhile
We like your shoes, we like your clothes
Now we want a taste of candy going up your nose
the bullets for the magazine
Cause I do want to be a beauty queen
I'm just a teenage sitting in my room with the bullet for a mirror looking for a broom
Cause I'd do anything in this world to look like you
To look like you
I'd do anything in this world to look like you
To look like you, oh
We like your style
Everything about you seems so worthwhile
We like your hair
We like your nose
Everybody gonna get one of those
the bullets for the magazine
Paparazzi shooting like soldiers in their teens
I'm just a teenage sitting in my room with the bullet for a mirror looking for a broom
To look like you...
I'm gonna cut my hair
I'm gonna grab a bit of me and stick it over there
I'm gonna take my meal of two white pills
Cause I'm gonna look like you, yes i will
Gonna sell right out to the great white dream
Cause I too want to be a beauty queen
I'm just a teenage sitting in my room with the bullet for a mirror looking for a broom
To look like you
I'd do anything in this world to look like you
To look like you, oh
To look like you...
To look like you...ohhh
To look like you...
To look like you...
Yes i put it on so thick I wonder why I ain't
I'm gonna buy everything that you do sell
Your clothes, your lips, your rocks, your smells
The bullets for the magazines
Cause I want everybody to see me
I'm just a teenage sitting in my room with the bullet for a mirror looking for a broom
To look like you
I'd do anything in this world to look like you
To look like you, oh
And everything about you seems so worthwhile
We like your shoes, we like your clothes
Now we want a taste of candy going up your nose
the bullets for the magazine
Cause I do want to be a beauty queen
I'm just a teenage sitting in my room with the bullet for a mirror looking for a broom
To look like you
I'd do anything in this world to look like you
To look like you, oh
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
It seems pretty obvious. Its about a teenage girl that hates how she looks and wants to look like someone famous and all the desperate measures she will attempt. It sounds like a stab at the stereotypical american teen girls.
I think youve overlooked what the real meaning of the song is. I think he's criticising the media for how they brainwash society and put undue pressure on teenage girls. He says "'We' like your ...." as in we've all been told that this is what we should like and "everybody gunna get one of those" as in we must be like them to conform. You are right that part of it is about a girl who doesnt like the way she is because she has been bainwashed by the media but i do not think it is a stab...

They are the victim in this story.
I agree to that
Yeah I agree too, maybe not so specific about one girl but about the culture of celebrities that young girls, and to a degree guys, are falling into, and trying to look like someone else their whole young lives. I'd like to think it's more a subliminal dig at the celebrities too, and how they themselves achieve their perfect look, and end up becoming role models, that still take the candy up the nose...
