Even if you don't like the sound of Superchic[k], the lyrics of all their songs are incredible -- they really address the problems of real people, real life, and real emotions. Here's two that really have hit me today, which I'm sure truly reflect how I'm feeling inside... but at least you get to see what I've thought about today.

One and Lonely:
It's not like they meant to hurt me
Watchin TV, checkin Britney, televised, my guys
Checkin out her thighs and I roll my eyes and sigh
It's not like I even need to be
competing with unreality TV, fantasy
Not for a smart girl like me
Some days it's hard to be a one girl revolution

Sometimes I have good days and it's good to be me
Sometimes I get the best of insecurity
And it's quite alright to be the one and only
But today I feel like the one and lonely

It's not that I don't know beauty is only skin deep
Just the skin I'm in, not the girl within
But one imperfection takes away my grin
Not that I think I'm ugly but
Acne throws me for a backslide
I won't go outside
Makeup can't hide how I feel inside
Some days it's hard to be a one girl revolution

(Oh, the one and lonely)
We all have bad hair days
Those nothing good about me days
Just keep moving on cuz they'll be gone
And we'll still be here going on
We have our yesterdays
No lunch cuz the jeans don't fit days
Just keep moving on cuz they'll be gone
And we'll still be here going on

Sometimes I have bad days and it's hard to be me
Sometimes I get brought down by insecurity
And I have my days where I'm the one and lonely
But today I choose to be the one and only
Yea, I'm the one and only

and,
Princes and Frogs: (this is for you, Bird, for all the frogs that you've had to dealt with in the past. ;))

You hate men is what you say and I understand how you feel that way
All girls dream of a fairy tale
But what you've got's like a used car salesman
Trying to conceal what's wrong behind a smile and a song
And I'm not saying that boys are not like that
But I think you should know
That some of us will grow
Because. . .All princes start as frogs and all gentlemen as dogs
Just wait till its plain to see
What we're growing up to be
Some frogs will still be frogs
Some dogs will still be dogs
Some boys will become men
Just don't kiss us til then.
You hate men, that's what you say,
And I understand how you feel that way,
All girls dream of a fairy tale,
But what you've got is like a used carsalesmen,
Trying to consume what's wrong, Behind a smile he'll end the song.
But I think you should know that some of us will grow.
You found him, that's what you say.
And we all want you to feel that way.
The frog you've got seems cute enough to kiss,
And maybe frogs seem like that's all there is,
But just b/c you haven't found your prince yet,
Doesn't mean that you're not a princess.
And what if your prince comes riding in
While you're kissing a frog ...
What's he gonna think then?
So look into his eyes,
Are you a princess or a fly?
