Intro
If beauty is an ecstacy And anger keeps you poor
A hungry man is never free A rich man never cured
Things were never what they used to be
For all the folks who can run the world, drive cabs or cut your hair
The sun may set without your help but you're beautiful people to me
You may fall before you're pushed but it's beautiful people I see
If you only see the stars when it's dark that's enough for me
An empty soul with a full opinion is beautiful people to me
Its all the same in different hats
The proof of the missing link
A nation talking to its self
And none of us can think
Things were never what they used to be
A silent fool may still be wise
But theres no way you can tell
The captain more scarred than his crew
Is beautiful people to me
And the finest government you could buy
Its beautiful people I see
If you could give five to one against
Its good enough for me
Cant use two steps to cross a canyon
Youre beautiful people to me
If you dont see the same trees I see
Youre beautiful people to me
Make deserts bloom and oceans die
Just beautiful people to me
If youre lost and dying of civilisation
Thats enough for me
If you believe your own blind eye
Youre beautiful people to me
And you may miss what you never had
And have what you never want
I'm not too sure if the above is totally right. Any comments or suggestions would
be most welcome.
