[00:17.42]If beauty is an ecstasy and anger keeps you poor
[00:26.42]A hungry man is never free, a rich man never cured
[00:34.42]Things were never what they used to be
[00:43.42]Now every crowd has its silver lining, we all got stuff to sell
[00:51.42]And you may live your life so bitter, but you remember it so well
[01:00.42]Things were never what they used to be
[01:08.42]For all the folks who can run the world, drive cabs or cut your hair
[01:16.42]And the sun may set without your help, but you’re beautiful people to me
[01:26.42]You may fall before you’re pushed, but it’s beautiful people I see
[01:33.42]If you only see the stars when it’s dark, that’s enough for me
[01:42.42]An empty soul with a full opinion is beautiful people to me
[02:08.42]It’s all the same in different hats, the proof of the missing link
[02:17.42]A nation talking to itself and none of us can think
[02:25.42]Things were never what they used to be
[02:33.42]For a silent fool may still be wise, there’s no way you can tell
[02:41.42]And the captain more scared than his crew is beautiful people to me
[02:50.42]The finest government you could buy is beautiful people I see
[02:59.42]If you live five to one against it’s good enough for me
[03:08.42]Can’t use two steps to cross a canyon, you’re beautiful people to me
[03:16.42]If you don’t see the same trees I see, you’re beautiful people to me
[03:24.42]Make deserts bloom and oceans die, just beautiful people to me
[03:33.42]If you’re lost and dying of civilization, that’s enough for me
[03:42.42]If you believe your own blind eye, you’re beautiful people to me
[03:50.42]And you may miss what you never had and have what you don’t need
[03:58.42]And the sun may set without your help, but you’re beautiful people to me
[04:08.42]You may fall before you’re pushed, but it’s beautiful people I see
[04:15.42]If you only see the stars when it’s dark, that’s enough for me
[04:25.42]An empty soul with a full opinion is beautiful people to me
[04:33.42]And the captain more scared than his crew is beautiful people to me
[04:41.42]And the finest government you could buy, it’s beautiful people I see
[04:50.42]If you live five to one against, it’s good enough for me
[04:58.42]Can’t use two steps to cross a canyon, you’re beautiful people to me
[05:06.42]If you don’t see the same trees I see, you’re beautiful people to me
[05:15.42]Make deserts bloom and oceans die, just beautiful people to me
[05:23.42]If you’re lost and dying of civilization, that’s enough for me
