The Ugly Underneath

Xtc


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 co-ordinated bedding 
And the fairy tale shredding 
Boy it's Ugly Underneath 
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 take 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
