Lyrics:
Beautiful People (Stay High) [Version (a)]:

All of those beautiful people say hey
All of those beautiful people stay high
All of those beautiful people say yeah
I'm tellin' you why

Time I've been gone, I've been struggling alone
Keeping all of my demons to myself
I'm saving my grace for that heavenly place
To the sun, I will sing you my song

Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Never coming back down
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Never coming back down

All of those beautiful people say hey
All of those beautiful people stay high
All of those beautiful people say yeah
I'm tellin' you why

Hard as it's been to begin once again
Just a friend on the wind seekin' shelter
There's a crack in the sky and a light from on high
I get higher and higher when I'm with her

Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Never coming back down

All of those beautiful people say hey
All of those beautiful people stay high
All of those beautiful people say yeah
I'm tellin' you why

All of those beautiful people say hey
All of those beautiful people stay high
All of those beautiful people say yeah
I'm tellin' you why

Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Never coming back down

All of those beautiful people say hey
All of those beautiful people stay high
All of those beautiful people say yeah
I'm tellin' you why

All of those beautiful people say hey
All of those beautiful people stay high
All of those beautiful people say yeah
I'm tellin' you why

Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Never coming back down
 
The Song:

Beck joined The Black Keys in the studio for their 2024 album, Ohio Players. He played on and cowrote about half of the songs. "Beautiful People (Stay High)" was the first single, and one of the tracks Beck cowrote. He also sings backup and plays the celeste on the song. (Dan the Automator also helped on the song.)

At this point, a 'na na na na' chorus is pretty standard Beck, so I take that as part of his contributions here. But the vibe is pretty Guero-like as well, with that sort of short, explosive, catchy rock groove.
