Champions of Unrestricted Beauty

[Verse 1]
Before you "how dare you" me
Take a look at yourself
But don't punish me for tellin' the truth
You're above it, or anyway, it's above you

You try to stay low, low to the ground
But you keep hitting your head on the sun
Which isn't gettin' any younger
I know it's coming, but I don't know where from, oh

[Chorus]
And you might be a champion
Of unrestricted beauty
But so often, you fail (You fail)
And that's nothing to be ashamed of
Remember what you said?
What you were so afraid of?
You're grinding inside, in pain
But the sparks are bright

[Verse 2]
You started to run, you started splitting atoms for fun
You fought in hundreds of wars
You got married, got a divorce
Set your bed on fire, and slept on the floor
You're manic and breathless
Humble, a tyrant, prophetic
All in once sentence, I know
And such is your power, I stand
I stand, humble, before you

[Chorus]
And you might be a champion
Of unrestricted beauty
But so often, you fail (You fail)
And that's nothing to be ashamed of
Remember what you said?
What you were so afraid of?
You're grinding inside, in pain
But the sparks are bright

[Bridge]
Before you "how dare you" me
Take a look at yourself
Don't punish me (Don't punish me)
For telling the truth

[Chorus]
And you might be a champion (Oh, oh)
Of unrestricted beauty
But so often, you fail (You fail)
And that's nothing to be ashamed of
Remember what you said? (Remember what you said?)
What you were so afraid of? (What you were so afraid of?)
You're grinding inside, in pain
But the sparks are bright

[Outro]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
