Клип Beyoncé – Pretty Hurts

Текст песни: [Harvey Keitel:] Miss Third Ward, your first question — what is your aspiration in life? [Beyoncé:] Oh... My aspiration in life... would be... to be happy. Mama said, "You're a pretty girl! What's in your head, it doesn't matter. Brush your hair, fix your teeth. What you wear is all that matters!" Just another stage, Pageant the pain away! This time I'm gonna take the crown Without falling down, down, down! Pretty hurts! We shine the light on whatever's worst. Perfection is a disease of a nation. (Pretty hurts, pretty hurts) Pretty hurts! We shine the light on whatever's worst. Tryna fix something, but you can't fix what you can't see, It's the soul that needs the surgery. Blonder hair, flat chest, TV says, "Bigger is better!" South Beach, sugar free, Vogue says, "Thinner is better!" Just another stage, Pageant the pain away! This time I'm gonna take the crown Without falling down, down, down! Pretty hurts! We shine the light on whatever's worst. Perfection is a disease of a nation. (Pretty hurts, pretty hurts) Pretty hurts! We shine the light on whatever's worst. Tryna fix something, but you can't fix what you can't see, It's the soul that needs the surgery. Ain't got no doctor or pill that can take the pain away, The pain's inside, and nobody frees you from your body. It's the soul, it's the soul that needs surgery, It's my soul that needs surgery. Plastic smiles and denial can only take you so far, Then you break when the fake facade leaves you in the dark. You're left with shattered mirrors and the shards of a beautiful past... Pretty hurts! We shine the light on whatever's worst. Perfection is a disease of a nation. (Pretty hurts, pretty hurts) Pretty hurts! We shine the light on whatever's worst. Tryna fix something, but you can't fix what you can't see, It's the soul that needs the surgery. When you're alone all by yourself And you're lying in your bed, Reflection stares right into you. Are you happy with yourself? You stripped away the masquerade, The illusion has been shed. Are you happy with yourself? Are you happy with yourself? Yes! [Verse 1:] Mama said, you're a pretty girl What's in your head it doesn't matter Brush your hair, fix your teeth What you wear is all that matters [Pre-chorus:] Just another stage Pageant the pain away This time I'm gonna take the crown Without falling down, down [Chorus:] Pretty hurts Shine the light on whatever's worse Perfection is the disease of a nation Pretty hurts Shine the light on whatever's worse Tryna fix something But you can't fix what you can't see It's the soul that needs the surgery [Verse 2:] Blonder hair, flat chest TV says bigger is better South beach, sugar free Vogue says Thinner is better [Pre-chorus] [Chorus] [Bridge:] Ain’t no doctor or pill that can take the pain away The pain's inside And nobody frees you from your body It's the soul that needs surgery It's my soul that needs surgery Plastic smiles and denial can only take you so far And you break when the paper signs leaves you in the dark You left a shattered mirror And the shards of a beautiful girl [Chorus] [Outro:] When you're alone all by yourself And you're lying in your bed Reflection stares right into you Are you happy with yourself? It's just a way to masquerade The illusion has been shed Are you happy with yourself? Are you happy with yourself? Yes
