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 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
