"Purgatory" lyrics
"Purgatory"
Beautiful people - got their beautiful lives - got their
Beautiful husbands - got their beautiful wives - got their
Beautiful bankers - got their beautiful lawyers
All things bright and beautiful
The beautiful people are sent to destroy us
Beautiful people - got their beautiful kids - got their
Beautiful schools where the beautiful other half live - got their
Beautiful futures in their beautiful professions
All things bright and beautiful
The beautiful people got the money for the lessons
I'm living in purgatory - I know what purgatory is
This ain't no sanctuary - this ain't no way to live
You gotta have a sense of humour - you gotta know how to laugh at it
Cos, I'm living in purgatory and anything's better than this
Beautiful people got their beautiful clothes - got their
Beautiful mansions - down their beautiful country roads - got their
Beautiful Doctors - in their beautiful surgeries
All things bright and beautiful
The beautiful people like a little privacy
I'm living in purgatory - I know what purgatory is
This ain't no sanctuary - this ain't no way to live
You gotta have a sense of humour - you gotta know how to laugh at it
Cos, I'm living in purgatory and anything's better than this
Beautiful losers on their beautiful estates got their
Beautiful job centres on the beautiful welfare wait and wait
Beautiful dreamers - out of their beautiful skulls
All things are bright and beautiful
As long as they're beautiful, people stay beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
I'm living in purgatory - I know what purgatory is
This ain't no sanctuary - this ain't no way to live
You gotta have a sense of humour - you gotta know how to laugh at it
I'm living in purgatory and anything's better than this
