[Verse 1]
It's outrageous to line your pockets off the misery of the poor
Outrageous the crime some human beings must endure
It's a blessing to wash your face in summer solstice rain
It's outrageous that a man like me stand here and complain
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm tired, nine hundred sit-ups a day
I'm painting my hair the color of mud and mud okay
I'm tired, tired, anybody care what I say? No!
Painting my hair the color of mud
[Chorus]
Who's going to love you when your looks are gone?
Tell me, who's going to love you when your looks are gone?
Ah, who's going to love you when your looks are gone?
Who's going to love you when your looks are gone?
Who's going to love you when your looks are gone?
Who's going to love you when your looks are gone?
Who's going to love you when your looks are gone?
[Verse 2]
It's outrageous the food they try to serve in the public school
Outrageous the way they talk to you like some kind of clinical fool
It's a blessing to rest my head in the circle of your love
It's outrageous, I can't stop thinking bout the things I'm thinking of
It's outrageous to line your pockets off the misery of the poor
Outrageous the crime some human beings must endure
It's a blessing to wash your face in summer solstice rain
It's outrageous that a man like me stand here and complain
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm tired, nine hundred sit-ups a day
I'm painting my hair the color of mud and mud okay
I'm tired, tired, anybody care what I say? No!
Painting my hair the color of mud
[Chorus]
Who's going to love you when your looks are gone?
Tell me, who's going to love you when your looks are gone?
Ah, who's going to love you when your looks are gone?
Who's going to love you when your looks are gone?
Who's going to love you when your looks are gone?
Who's going to love you when your looks are gone?
Who's going to love you when your looks are gone?
[Verse 2]
It's outrageous the food they try to serve in the public school
Outrageous the way they talk to you like some kind of clinical fool
It's a blessing to rest my head in the circle of your love
It's outrageous, I can't stop thinking bout the things I'm thinking of
