Beauty  is a harlot
 She will dance  with  any bastard
  Bflat dim
 She's undiscerning in her choice of partners
 I could have  her of course if I wish
 But I object  to her promiscuousness
Beauty  just doesn't suit  me
 For beauty  is a harlot
 An easy  lay  for lazy  artists
  Bflat dim
 I won't be fooled by her vulgar charm
 It is the easiest  trick in the book
Music's  the worm and beautys the hook
 And I know  you would swallow her whole
 But Im not  here to pander to souls
 For beauty  is a siren
 Trying to draw  me from  my chosen  mission
  Bflat dim Bm - Bm/A
 I won't be tempted by her seductive singing
 On principle  I refuse to be party  to her abuse
 It is not  my job to squat in the gutter
 Sharing  the teat with you beauty drunk suckers
 You paid  to see satire and rage
 I swear I  won't let beauty set foot  on this stage
 For beauty  is a siren
 A spotlight hungry  superficial  harlot
  Bflat dim
 She will toy with your defenceless heart and leave you
Tear  streaked when the lights come on
 You look  around to find her gone
 And despite  your sighs you've not a clue
 That as you fell  from her she stole  from you
 For beauty  is a harlot
 She will lie  with  any two bit  artist
  Bflat dim
 And for all those other bastards
 She seems to come  so easily
 But she comes  too  hard for  me
