SUPERMODEL
Prepubescent imagery
Empty, stupid eyes
Waif thin
Tyrannical
No fat
No body hair
No character, no love, no personality -
No brain
So thin, and yet...
So thick
By your anodyne complicity
In this gruesome stereotype
You connive
In the corporate enslavement of your sisters
- anorexia, bulimia, self-loathing, fear
They aspire to be like you
- an unnatural creation of capital -
And wreck their bodies in the process
Destroy their fertility
Tear apart their lives
But hang on a minute?
Not my place to talk about that?
I'm a man, what do I know?
You're just trying to earn a living?
What I'm saying has been said before?
OK
But when the football blokes look
And make some expected remark
I'm supposed to join in
I'm supposed to fancy you -
Or pretend to
Well, I don't
And I won't
More than that
You revolt me
You give me an inversion
It's quite simple really
I just don't desire a stupid adman's toy
Styled to look like a prepubescent girl
- a real ‘babe' -
There in the tabloid
Next to the lurid description
Of Gary Glitter's downfall
I love a real woman
I won't buy the product you advertise
I won't watch your latest film
I'm not interested in your poxy TV series
I'll never set foot in that bloody car
And I hate you
I know I should just ignore you, or feel sorry for you
But I hate you
And your fashionist masters
Bringers of misery
Destroyers of individuality
Harbingers of despair
Women and men:
Riot against diet!
Sod the microchip revolution -
Let's have a fish ‘n' chip one!
Cream bun chocolate cream bun chocolate
Lard lard sag aloo beer beer beer!
Riot against diet!
Smash fashionism!
Say goodbye to Hello!
Make Cosmopolitan....cosmopolitan!
Let's have a real woman's realm!
Take over the curry house
Fill your freezer full of ice cream
Live
Love
Get real!
