If beauty is an ecstasy and anger keeps you poor
A hungry man is never free, a rich man never cured
Things were never what they used to be
Now every crowd has its silver lining, we all got stuff to sell
And you may live your life so bitter, but you remember it so well
Things were never what they used to be
For all the folks who can run the world, drive cabs or cut your hair
And the sun may set without your help, but youre beautiful people to me
You may fall before youre pushed, but its beautiful people I see
If you only see the stars when its dark, thats 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 itself and none of us can think
Things were never what they used to be
For a silent fool may still be wise, theres no way you can tell
And the captain more scared than his crew is beautiful people to me
And the finest government you could buy, its beautiful people I see
If you live 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 civilization, 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 dont need
And the sun may set without your help, but youre beautiful people to me
You may fall before youre pushed, but its beautiful people I see
If you only see the stars when its dark, thats enough for me
An empty soul with a full opinion is beautiful people to me
And the captain more scared than his crew is beautiful people to me
And the finest government you could buy, its beautiful people I see
If you live 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 civilization, thats enough for me
