lyrics

I don't trust beautiful people
beautiful people were always mean to me
blowing through my life like a snowstorm in Texas
or shiny polished toy figurine

when you're ugly and unwanted
and the big man beats you up
you don't have many friends
but you got one you can trust
it could be a 3 legged puppy dog
or a great big floating shnozz
walking hand and hand
down the shining road of oz

thats why i dont trust beautiful people
beautiful people like the ones on tv
but i wouldn't trade all the chow mien in Oklahoma
for the jaw line of Richard Gere

I know you think im talking about people like you an me
but i think its all one twisted fantasy
its a pretty coat that you put on or the makeup on your brow
that's why all it takes is a couple tears to make it all to fall down

that's why i feel bad for beautiful people
beautiful people don't know who to believe
wrapped around a mannequin or a big old shiny necklace
trapped behind glass in chains that never leave

i know the worlds a stage
and life mighty bore
or maybe were all cardboard cut outs on the stock room floor
were all chasing rainbows and the people on tv
but one day well just chase people like you an me

that's why i don't believe in beautiful people
beautiful people are all make believe
take off them masks
were all just good and evil
bad cable static and few memories
