THE BEAUTIFUL AND THE DAMNED song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

they say beauty is a curse
so tell me which is first:
to be beautiful and bad
or beautiful and worse

the world doesn't care at all
how hard and fast you fall
you know you should be good
but you wouldn't if you could

the bad and goddam beautiful
the beautiful and damned
you know which is which
you know what I am
I aint a lucky man
I aint so awful rich
but I do what I can
a sweet son of a bitch

lost and not so innocent
a whole generation
what we thought we knew
we must have been mistaken

there was no other choice
there was no second chance
all that you can do
is give up to the dance

Faulkner was a fool
Ernest was a tool
Gatsby was a cad
he made everybody mad

Charlie wore a silly hat
convulsed the world with laughter
Lulu went to Hollywood
and Greta followed after

they say beauty is a curse
so tell me which is first:
to be beautiful and bad
or beautiful and worse

God doesn't care at all
how hard and fast you fall
you know you should be good
but you wouldn't if you could

the beautiful
and the damned
