The Ugly Underneath - 2001 Remaster
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, ah
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
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, ah
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
