Lyrics

Beauty Queens

[Verse 1]

Running around, running around

Somebody bring me back to the ground

I think I see a saint in the bloodshot sky

[Verse 2]

Looks are this apocalypse

Eat out your heart to get rich quick

Well, we all want what money just can't buy

And they tease us ’til we suck our thumbs and cry

[Chorus]

Beauty queens and lullabies

Broken dreams and white lies

It's a fix, so shield your eyes

A revolution is on tonight

Time is gone and time is past

Better make your decision fast

Show your teeth, you're ready to bite

A revolution is on tonight

[Verse 3]

I’m ice-cold with a heart of gold

Bitterness is in my bones

And I don't know

It's what they say, not what they don't

Bitterness is in my bones

I'm ice-cold with a heart of gold

Bitterness is in my bones

I don't know

It's what they say, not what they don't

Bitterness is in my bones

[Chorus]

Beauty queens and lullabies

Broken dreams and white lies

It’s a fix, so shield your eyes

A revolution is on tonight

Time is gone and time is past

Better make your decision fast

Show your teeth, you’re ready to fight

A revolution is on tonight
