«The Beautiful People» es una canción del álbum de 1996 de Marilyn Manson, «Antichrist Superstar». La canción se centra en la idea de que la sociedad está llena de personas superficiales que juzgan a los demás por su apariencia. El tema se refleja en la letra, que habla de la presión de los medios para encajar en los estándares de belleza establecidos y la necesidad de ser aceptado por los demás. La canción se ha convertido en un himno para aquellos que se sienten marginados por la sociedad.
And I don’t want you and I don’t need ya
Don’t bother to resist, or I’ll beat ya
It’s not your fault that you’re always wrong
The weak ones are there to justify the strong
The beautiful people, the beautiful people
It’s all relative to the size of your steeple
You can’t see the forest from the trees
And you can’t smell your own shit on your knees
There’s no time to discriminate
Hate every motherfucker that’s in your way!
Hey, you, what do you see?
Something beautiful, something free?
Hey, you, are you trying to be mean?
You live with apes man, it’s hard to be clean
(Ohhh)
(Ohhh)
The worms will live in every host
It’s hard to tell which one ate the most
The horrible people, the horrible people
It’s all anatomic as the size of your steeple
Capitalism has made it this way
Old-fashioned fascism will take it away!
Hey, you, what do you see?
Something beautiful, something free?
Hey, you, are you trying to be mean?
You live with apes man, it’s hard to be clean
There’s no time to discriminate
Hate every motherfucker that’s in your way
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
The beautiful people, the beautiful people (ohhh)
The beautiful people, the beautiful people (ohhh)
The beautiful people, the beautiful people (ohhh)
The beautiful people, the beautiful people (ohhh)
Hey, you, what do you see?
Something beautiful, something free?
Hey, you, are you trying to be mean?
You live with apes man, it’s hard to be clean
Hey, you, what do you see?
Something beautiful, something free?
Hey, you, are you trying to be mean?
You live with apes man, it’s hard to be clean
The beautiful people, the beautiful people
The beautiful people, the beautiful people
The beautiful people, the beautiful people
The beautiful people, the beautiful people
