An empty soul with a full opinion is beautiful people to me 
 
Middle link  
 
It?s all the same in different hats  
The proof of the missing link 
A nation talking to its self 
And none of us can think 
Things were never what they used to be 
 
A silent fool may still be wise  
But there?s no way you can tell 
The captain more scarred than his crew 
Is beautiful people to me 
And the finest government you could buy 
Its beautiful people I see 
If you could give five to one against  
It?s good enough for me 
 
Can?t use two steps to cross a canyon 
You?re beautiful people to me 
 
If you don?t see the same trees I see 
You?re beautiful people to me 
Make deserts bloom and oceans die 
Just beautiful people to me 
If you?re lost and dying of civilisation 
That?s enough for me 
If you believe your own blind eye 
You?re beautiful people to me 
 
And you may miss what you never had 
And have what you never want 
 
I'm not too sure if the above is totally right. Any comments or suggestions would
