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
