The Ugly Underneath |
| First there’s the handshake |
| It’s so warm that you could bake by it |
| Designed to take attention from their |
| Ugly underneath |
| Then there’s the wedding |
| The coordinated bedding |
| And the fairy tale shredding |
| Boy, it’s ugly underneath |
| And after the pretty |
| There’s a gluttony of pity |
| On a cake called nitty, gritty |
| And it’s ugly underneath |
| Did you ever try to prise away the mask |
| Go ahead, take a spoon and try |
| I can tell you it’s a herculean task |
| Go ahead, it’s okay to cry |
| What you’re chewing on’s the truth |
| And that’s the hardest thing |
| To wash down with a glass of lemonade |
| The ugly underneath |
| The thing with politicians is |
| I wouldn’t have suspicions |
| If I saw their worst positions |
| And their ugly underneath |
| But after all the voting |
| Suck away the sugar coating |
| Now they’ve had you and they’re gloating |
| Boy, it’s ugly underneath |
| Did you ever try to roll away the wheel |
| Go ahead, take a fork and try |
| See the unattractive things that make us real |
| Go ahead, it’s okay to cry |
| What you’ve trodden in’s the truth |
| And that’s the hardest thing |
| To wash down with a glass of lemonade |
