Break The Mould Lyrics - Singles - Oi Polloi

Another adolescent suicide - 'cos you don't look the part 

Killed by the glossy magazines that brainwashed you from the start 

Photos of models in expensive clothes 

Designer haircuts and arrogant pose 

Rammed down our throats time after time 

Their fashion is a violent crime 

FIT IN - CONFORM - PRESSURED FROM THE START 

FREAK - FAILURE - IF YOU DON'T LOOK THE PART 

FIT IN - CONFORM - BE WHAT YOU'RE TOLD 

FREAK - FAILURE - IF YOU DON'T FIT THEIR MOULD 

Six stone four not an ounce of fat 

TV made quite sure of that 

Eat your food can't keep it down 

Be like the images all around 

Laxative abuse life's so unfair 

Can't go out got nothing to wear 

Don't look in the mirror - it never lies 

Can hide your body but not the pain in your eyes 

DEATH DIET DEATH DIET DEATH DIET - ANOREXIA 

Models on the page that we've all seen 

The ones on the adverts on the TV screen 

How come none look like you or me? 

They're trying to make us feel like freaks 

But their vision of perfection at which to aim 

Is an airbrushed illusion you can never attain 

Enough is enough we won't swallow the lie 

They're selling us a myth but we won't buy 

We won't conform - we won't even start 

We just don't care - if we don't look the part 

We won't conform - we won't be what we're told 

We just don't care - it's time to break the mould
