Prisoners of Beauty - Brenda Linton
[Refrain]
Prisoners of beauty
born to be pampered
raised to the symbols of others' success
diamond lace collars
gold woven leashes
keep them contented as least of the best
least of the best
I saw a beauty
she was showing her wares around
with her head held high
she received the stares without a sound
and you know she reminded me
of an entry in a fair
bred only to win
and only good for a few short years
[Repeat Refrain]
I saw a beauty
she was walking her afghan dog
with their heads held high
they glided down the chic promenade
and you know she reminded me
of a Persian saphrat's wife
only good for one thing
and bound by it for life
[Repeat refrain]
