BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE

*

Skin deep, skin deep,

like the wool on us sheep,

we're surrounded by images of beauty.

In clubs & bars,

see the fashionable scars,

on the clones of those images of beauty.

The talentless, tame cockatoos on TV,

flash their airbrushed perfection in cheap magazines,

To be one of the beautiful people.

But beautiful people are boring.

***

Skin deep, skin deep,

got a life going cheap,

we're seduced by the images of beauty.

The grail we seek,

is the useless elite,

of the blandest of images of beauty.

Pampered and plastic and perfectly posed,

the sold out celebrity everyone knows,

To be one of the beautiful people.

But beautiful people are boring.

***

Shaking fake asses to "I Will Survive",

the orange skins wait for the press to arrive,

to confirm that they're beautiful people.

But beautiful people are boring.
