Don't bother to resist, or I'll beat you
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 for the trees
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 or something free?
Hey, you, are you trying to be mean?
If you live with apes man, it's hard to be clean
The worms will live in every host
It's hard to pick which one they eat the most
The horrible people, the horrible people
It's as 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 or something free?
Hey, you, are you trying to be mean?
If 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
The beautiful people
The beautiful people (aahh)

Hey you, what do you see?
Something beautiful or something free?
Hey, you, are you trying to be mean?
If you live with apes man, it's hard to be clean
Hey you, what do you see?
Something beautiful or something free?
Hey, you, are you trying to be mean?
If you live with apes man, it's hard to be clean

The song "Beautiful People" by Muddasheep featuring Marilyn Manson is a commentary on themes of power, beauty, and capitalism. The lyrics suggest that there is a privileged class of people who are beautiful and strong, and that they justify their dominance over weaker people who are always wrong. Manson challenges this idea and questions the norms of society that dictate who is beautiful and who is not.
The chorus of the song, "The beautiful people, the beautiful people, it's all relative to the size of your steeple," suggests that one's wealth or status determines their perceived beauty. The line "Capitalism has made it this way, old-fashioned fascism will take it away" further supports this idea and suggests that society's obsession with wealth and status is ultimately destructive.
The verses of the song also suggest that there is no room for discrimination and that one should hate "every motherfucker that's in your way." Manson's lyrics express frustration with societal norms and suggest that it is difficult to be clean or maintain a sense of morality when surrounded by apes or people who cling to outdated ideas of beauty and power.
Overall, "Beautiful People" is an expression of frustration and a challenge to societal norms that prioritize wealth, power, and beauty.
