Ain't It Beautiful?


Ain’t it beautiful?

Ain’t it a beautiful world out there?

Nature is pleasing to my eyes

The beauty really blinds

Ain’t it beautiful?

Ain’t it a beautiful world out there?

So many sights that are bigger than us humans

We’ve got fantasies so bright

Who can beat fame and fortune?

I can’t even reach that high

Neither can she, but at least she’s Beauty Queen 2016

I mean

Just look at that man’s chest

Look at that girl’s deeds

No matter how brilliant they were

The world just kept moving

I mean

We’re watching the television

That script was one of the best

Successful plot twist

I am completely distracted

I mean

We’re saving the animals!

We’re celebrating life!

I mean

Yeah, we’ve got shootings

And the police brutality

And if you’re both men, then they are definitely coming

Apparently, one person equates to everybody

Apparently, talent breeds gunning

Apparently, color means something

Apparently, the popular vote means nothing

But we’ve got things that keep us busy

Like judging a celebrity

And buying what they’re selling

And looking really pretty

And the nature is really pleasing

To our eyes

It really is blinding

But ain’t it beautiful?
