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
