The Horrible People Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And I don't want you and I don't need you
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
The beautiful people, the beautiful people


[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
There's no time to discriminate
Hate every motherfucker that's in your way
(Break it away!)

[Chorus]
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
[Interlude]
The beautiful people, the beautiful people
The beautiful people, the beautiful people
The beautiful people, the beautiful people
The beautiful people, the beautiful people


[Bridge]
And I don't want you and I don't need you
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


(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)

[Chorus]
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? (Hey! Hey!)
Something beautiful, something free (Hey! Hey!)
Hey, you, are you trying to be mean? (Hey! Hey!)
You live with apes, man, it's hard to be clean (Hey! Hey!)

[Outro]
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
(Hey!)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
