Lyrics
PLAIN
They say my insides glow
with an extra special beauty
but everywhere I go
everybody's looking through me
They can't say what they mean
Because they're mean but can't say so
They never get extreme
But they still squish me like I'm play-doh
Just one word but it contains
Something deeply inhumane
It's not a simple sort of pain
When someone
Someone says she's plain
When I was fourteen-ish
My father said this to me
Better hope you're a genius,
cause you'll never be a beauty
Accomplished many things
With work and dedication
But inside it still stings
I'd prefer your lust to admiration
Just one word but it contains
Something deeply inhumane
It's not a simple sort of pain
When someone
Someone says she's plain
I won't become a swan
Never was an ugly duckling
Within my echelon
We are well known for wild swashbuckling
Just one word but it contains
Something deeply inhumane
It's not a simple sort of pain
When someone
Someone says she's plain

TMJ is/was a punk-pop band of some minor renown. Some of that renown was due to their music, which included semi-hits such as “Crush Story,” “Donna Everywhere,” and “That’s a Lie” — a cover of the LL Cool J tune that featured the man himself in the music video, which actually got played quite a bit during daylight hours on MTV back when they did that sort of thing.
