Beautiful People

When I was born the midwife cried
She couldn't quite believe her eyes, well we
Can't all be Keanu Reeves, or
Beauty Queens, and kids are mean, I tell you
School was hell, I could not wait for the
Bell to ring and to hit that gate
There's no point in asking why
U-G-L-Y, I ain't go no alibi

Skin deep, tough shit
I just make the best of it I give
No fucks, I don't care that I was
Back of the line when they gave out the looks
But it's hard to take when you comprehend you will
Never be one of the beautiful people
Slam the door in your fucking face, you can
Never be one of the beautiful people

Well I've tried, and I've learned
You just can't polish a turd and I
Know, that I don't belong with the
Beautiful people, beautiful people like you

So I tried to hide away, I've got
Nice legs, it's a shame about the boat race, a
Face for radio, no Stevie Nicks, I've been
Beaten black and blue with the ugly stick
And I watch, but I don't understand, the
Celebrity shows with the perfectly tanned with their
Perfect teeth and their perfect houses their
Perfect lives with their perfect spouses it's

Skin deep, such a waste
A nice smile doesn't buy you taste and it's
Shallow, there's no meaning in
Selling your pictures to Hello! Magazine but it's
Hard to take when you comprehend you will
Never be one of the beautiful people
Slam the door in your fucking face, you will
Never be one of the beautiful people

Well I've tried, and I've learned
You just can't polish a turd and I
Know, that I don't belong with the
Beautiful people, beautiful people like you

But I've found my tribe now, I've got my fam and I
Know who they are, they are fucking amazing, I
Know they accept me the way that I am, they're
Beautiful people in all kinds of ways
But not beautiful people like you
But not beautiful people like you

I've tried, but I've learned
You just can't polish a turd and I
Know, but I just don't care I will
Never be one of the, beautiful people
