Bacon Brothers The Not Born To Beauty Lyrics

Not Born To Beauty Lyrics

Written by kevin bacon, michael bacon

 

 He was headlining the lazy lounge

 And the crowd was growing thin

 It was me and two drunk salesman

 And a waitress named corine

 He wasn't much to look at

 Drum machine and a bad toupee

 But he brought out a beat-up strat

 And blew us all away

 He was born to do it

 He was born to play

 Like there was nothing to it

 Like he did it every day

 Not some well-pierced pretty boy

 That you find on every block

 Not born to beauty

 Not born to beauty

 Born to rock

 

 Open mike in a village bar

 All the bands would play for free

 When the drummer took his solo

 I realized he was a she

 Now she was bigger than a houseboat

 She was lucky it was dark

 But you should've seen her hands float

 And she could bite you like a shark

 She was born to do it

 She was born to play

 Like there was nothing to it

 Yeah she did it every day

 Not some skinny pin-up

 She had time like a swiss-made clock

 Not born to beauty

 Not born to beauty, yeah

 

 Their clothes are out of style

 And the road shows on their faces

 The hair that once lived on their heads

 Has moved to other places

 Maybe they got day jobs

 To support this rockin' jones

 But the rhythm fits them like a skin

 And the blues is in their bones

 

 Turn on your mtv

 And you won't find them there

 You can read that rolling stone cover to cover

 You won't find them anywhere

 But in basements and garages

 Hotel lounges, roadside bars

 Close your eyes and hear the tunes

 And you'll be seeing stars

 They were born to do it

 They were born to play

 Yeah there was nothing to it

 Yeah they did it every day

 Not too good to look at

 Less like kirk and more like spock

 Not born to beauty

 Not born to beauty

 Born to rock
