The American Tragedy lyrics : "Beneath Every Pearl"

Isn't she lovely
Her hair so pretty
But they never tell you about

The things like
Her eating disorder
Or the clothes that she's stolen

Or the things she says behind your back
When nobody's looking


Oh she's so Americana
She's such the prima donna
When everyone wants to believe

That somebody's perfect
And everyone wants to believe
That somebody's real


Beneath every pearl
There's a speck of dirt

Waiting to be cleaned

Isn't he handsome

The varsity captain
But they never tell you about
The things like

His criminal convictions
Or his date-rape victims
Or his drinking problem

That makes his temper go foul

Oh he's so Americana

He's such the prima donna
When everyone wants to believe
That somebody's perfect

And everyone wants to believe
That somebody's real


La, la de da da
La de da da


La-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da
Oh
