Men have made the a-bombs

Men have made guns

The dreaded torture chambers

And the barbed wire fence

But of all the awful things that

Men did invent

The idea of ideal beauty is worth

The most contempt

And tell me who's a killer?

If we all concider

That emotion runs as deep as flesh

And the idea of ideals

That say what beauty is

Has sentenced so many to death



So, if beauty is your friend

You'd better go deceive it

Beauty is the beast, you better believe it

You're wasting your whole life

If you're trying to achieve it

Beauty is the beast

And you better believe it

Beauty is the beast

Beauty is the beast

Beauty is the beast

And you better believe it

Beauty is the beast

Beauty is the beast

Beauty is the beast

Beauty is the beast



Now, who can tell me how

And where to begin

In a world who thinks of ugly

As the cardinal sin

And constantly is talking about the beauty within

But looks up in the cellar everything that is grim



And tell me who's a killer?

If we all concider

That emotion runs as deep as flesh

And the idea of ideals

That say what beauty is

Has sentenced so many to death



Beauty is the beast

Beauty like a barbed wire fence

Beauty is the beast

Beauty like a barbed wire fence

Beauty is the beast

Beauty like a barbed wire fence



So, if beauty is your friend

You'd better go deceive it

Beauty is the beast, you better believe it

You're wasting your whole life

If you're trying to achieve it

Beauty is the beast

And you better believe it

So, if beauty is your friend

You'd better go deceive it

Beauty is the beast, you better believe
