The Clash
The Beautiful People Are Ugly Too
[Verse 1]
I see, the law caught your hands on the stuff
And if that wasn't enough
Means I totally fell for your bluff
Oh, how you kicked off that stuff
[Chorus]
Oh the beautiful people are ugly too
There's gonna be a lot of washing when the dance is through
[Verse 2]
Now your face without pretense
Is lit up on the fence
[Pre-Chorus]
You, you, you, you
You can buy another singer like you gotta lotta money
You, you, you, you
You can buy another singer like you gotta lotta money
[Verse 3]
All those who feign indifference
Whether to be or become past tense
The forgotten part of old acquaintance
Who stiffed out on the Itchycoo Park bench
[Chorus]
And the beautiful people are ugly too
There gonna be a lot of washing when the dance is through
[Bridge]
Admit it!
You thought you were the hero
Of "The Fulham Connection 2"
Yeah, the flashing strip
You flashed your jewels
But now: the credits
It must roll through
[Pre-Chorus]
You, you, you, you
You can buy another singer like you gotta lotta money
You, you, you, you
You can buy another singer like you gotta lotta money
[Chorus]
Oh the beautiful people are ugly too
There's gonna be a lot of washing when the dance is through
And the beautiful people are ugly too
There's gonna be a lot of washing when the dance is through
[Verse 4]
A fatal mistake, they lived a year in a week
And ready to be great if you got a receipt
[Pre-Chorus]
You, you, you, you
You can buy another singer like you gotta lotta money
You, you, you, you
You can buy another singer like you gotta lotta money
You can't get a lot of swing along a letter to jail
[Chorus]
The beautiful people are ugly too
There's gonna be a lot of washing when the dance is through
Now the beautiful people are ugly too
