THE RADIOACTIVE CHICKEN HEADS: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

One of our earliest influence were the edgy children's records of Barry Louis Polisar. This is a cover of a song that was originally on his album "Off Color Songs For Kids"

I LOOKED INTO THE MIRROR

WHAT DID THE MIRROR SAY?

"YOU'RE THE UGLIEST KID I'VE SEEN, WILL YOU PLEASE GO WAY!!!"

MY FEELINGS HAD BEEN HURT

MY PRIDE WAS DAMAGED, I WAS CRUSHED

MY HAIR WAS COMBED, MY CLOTHES WERE CLEAN

MY TEETH HAD ALL BEEN BRUSHED

TOOK MY FATHER'S OVERCOAT AND A FADED OLD BOW TIE

CAME BACK TO THE MIRROR TO GET A NEW REPLY

MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL, HOW DO I LOOK TO YOU?

"JUST LIKE THAT UGLY KID!", THE MIRROR SAID AS I WITHDREW

I LOOKED INTO THE MIRROR

WHAT DID THE MIRROR SAY?

"YOU'RE THE UGLIEST KID I'VE SEEN, WILL YOU PLEASE GO AWAY!!"

FOUND MY MOTHER'S MAKE-UP KIT

AND MY GRANDMOTHER'S OLD WIG

GOT SOME LIPSTICK ON MY MOUTH

AND I MADE MY CHEST LOOK BIG

PUT MY SISTER'S SWEATER ON

AND I ROLLED UP BOTH MY SLEEVES

MIRROR WAS SO SILENT

I WAS SO RELIEVED

THEN FINALLY, THE MIRROR SPOKE AND MADE ME FEEL SO DUMB

IT SAID, "YOU'RE STILL WEIRD AND UGLY! HOW COME?"

I LOOKED INTO THE MIRROR

WHAT DID THE MIRROR SAY?

"YOU'RE THE UGLIEST KID I'VE SEEN, WILL YOU PLEASE GO AWAY!!"

COULDN'T PLEASE THAT MIRROR NO MATTER HOW I TRIED

I SPENT MONEY, TIME AND ENERGY AND LOTS OF NIGHTS I CRIED

I REALIZED THAT THOUGH IT'S GOOD TO SEE THE WAY YOU LOOK

WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS WHO YOU ARE THAT'S WHAT I MISTOOK

YEAH, THE BEST REFLECTION OF WHO YOU ARE COMES FROM ANOTHER PLACE

SO I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW MIRROR...

AND GOT A HAIRCUT JUST IN CASE

I LOOKED INTO THE MIRROR

WHAT DID THE MIRROR SAY?

"YOU MAY BE THE UGLIEST KID I'VE SEEN BUT PLEASE DON'T GO AWAY!!!"
