(G. Stefani, T. Kanal)
from the "Simple Kind of Life" single
Damsel in distress is quite submissive
Look how somber my vanity is
A feminine human creature
Superficial, seducing detour
I'm going to the mall for the cookie cutter
The ugly duckling will always suffer
Contaminated standards, I try to fight it
I better get back on my diet
Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
How'd my vanity get such a mess?
Beauty contest
I'm obsessed
Reduce myself, I got the strict restrictions
Not sexy enough without the regulations
A melting point countdown the fading features
Born to blossom and bloom to perish
Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
Oh, I've got to get out of this mess
Beauty contest
I'm obsessed
And I've fallen, I can't help myself
I'm feeling envious of all the rest
You're bringing out the lemming in me
A victim of the cattle call disease
Not easy to be me
I feel so lame
Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
How'd my vanity get such a mess?
Obsessed with the beauty contest
Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
I've got to get out of this mess
Obsessed with the beauty contest
Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
How'd my vanity get such a mess?
Caught up in the beauty contest
Caught up in the beauty contest
Caught up in the beauty contest
Caught up in the beauty contest
Caught up in the beauty contest
And I feel so lame
How'd my vanity get such a mess?
(child) My vanity's a mess

No Doubt è un gruppo musicale statunitense formatosi ad Anaheim nel 1986. Il gruppo, composto originariamente da Gwen Stefani (voce), Tom Dumont (chitarra), Tony Kanal (basso) e Adrian Young (batteria), ha raggiunto la fama internazionale negli anni '90 con il genere ska punk. Il loro sound, caratterizzato da melodie orecchiabili, testi ironici e l'energia contagiosa di Stefani, ha conquistato un pubblico vasto e variegato. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "Just a Girl", "Don't Speak" e "Spiderwebs". L'album "Tragic Kingdom" (1995) è diventato un disco d'oro in tutto il mondo, consolidando la posizione di No Doubt come una delle band più influenti del decennio. Nel 2001, con l'album "Return of Saturn", il gruppo ha esplorato nuovi territori musicali, incorporando elementi di pop e rock alternativo. Dopo un periodo di pausa, No Doubt è tornato nel 2009 con l'album "Push and Shove", che ha riscosso successo internazionale.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
