Lyrics

   I don't want you and I don't need you
   don't bother to resist, 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,
   and you can't smell
   your own shit on your knees
   hey you, what do you see?
   something beautiful, 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 worms will live in every host
   it's hard to pick which one they eat 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, 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

Trivia

  • The song is listed as The Beautiful People (The WWF Remix) on the album artwork. This is the version found on the album, not the Full Metal Jacket Remix as the article and speculation suggest.
  • This mix was the opening theme for WWE Smackdown! in 2002. An alternate sounding instrumental only mix can be heard on the menu screen of the PS2 game WWE Smackdown!: Shut Your Mouth!.
