Charlie McDonnell – A Song About Acne lyrics

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Spots on my face,
Too much acne to embrace
The person behind them.
Zits on my back
With heads bright white, scarlet and black
In much too much an awkward place to pop them

Pimples on my chest,
Probably there because I'm stressed
About the people talking behind my back
About the spots on my face,
The ones I wish I could erase
Just like the so-called friends
That like to tease me about them

Clearasil and Freederm, sitting in my bathroom
The spots on my face can confirm that they don't really work.
Proactiv solution
Deserves an execution
For being an ablution
That does nothing but smirk at me
'Cause I'm an acne ridden teen

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Countless times I've tried and tried
But my skin just ends up all dry
And I am left wanting to stay inside.
But then one day I said, "Charlie,
It's not as bad as it could be!
They're only spots; it's not like you've died! "
Be a man, be who you are,
But try not to pop them in case they scar
Even though squeezing them is fun, fun, fun.
Understand at the end of the day
To put your hands up and say, "Okay!"
Get out of the bathroom, and lie out in the sun
(Because I heard that helps)

Clearasil and Freederm, sitting in my bathroom
The spots on my face can confirm that they don't really work.
Proactiv solution
Deserves an execution
For being an ablution
That does nothing but smirk at me
'Cause I'm an acne ridden teen

But I won't let that define me
'Cause the people that mind don't matter
And the people that matter don't mind.
So when all that pus goes splatter
You'll wipe it off your mirror
And wipe it from your mind.
You could try a dairy-free diet
And drink eight cups of water a day
But in the end your acne will still run riot
'Cause the hormones that cause them just won't go away.

Ready?

(Scat Solo)

Clearasil and Freederm, sitting in my bathroom sill
The spots on my face can confirm that they don't really work.
Proactiv solution
Deserves an execution
For being an ablution
That does nothing but smirk at me
'Cause I'm an acne ridden,
Somewhat smelly,
Kind of weird,
But generally A-Ok teen.
