Clever Not Beautiful Lyrics

Sharks follow my trail, and it won't be long
They've fallen for the oldest
trick in the book
It never goes wrong oh no
Mask and snorkel and a bottle
of ketchup
Oh those desperate old sharkfins start to circle me in anger
Oh
be clever not beautiful, oh be clever not beautiful
If your goal is plain
survival well then be clever not beautiful
(Ha) Poets lock up your words,
your tongues are all tied
Oh let read in every history book that the poets
all tried to lull us
With lilting, songs of a struggle to mountain up a
notion
That we were something more than animals
Be clever not beautiful,
oh be clever not beautiful
If your gaol is plain survival well then be
clever not beautiful
Not like your face, as you roam in the garden
Not as
the earthworms gather beneath your feet
You give it all away(all away) for
free
As we sun our winter bellies(winter bellies)
In your
spring(yaa)
Ooh be clever not beautiful, oh be clever not beautiful
If
your goal is pure survival well then be clever not beautiful
Oh be clever
not beautiful oh be clever not beautiful
If your goal is plain survival well
then be clever not beautiful
Be clever not beautiful
