UGLY

From SP1: “Those Who Roar Last” (The Prequel)

(Music: M. Gambino, P. Pineyro, J. D’Aqui / Lyrics: M. Gambino)


There are those who radiate natural beauty                                                They walk in a room and everyone races to them                                                  Just to feel the warmth of their embrace and smile                                                   But it eats your insides out all the while

This is something that you’ve got to fix                                                           On your shoulder, you wear your bag of tricks                                                       A “one-trick pony”, you shop until you drop                                                 You won’t stop ‘til you think you’ll make eyes pop

You thought all it took was that you’d spend your money                                In your constant quest for beauty, you got UGLY 

It’s a shame…. A pitiful, sad existence                                                                You may get admiration from a distance                                                                     But once they get close to you —  You’re exposed                                     Nothing underneath the warpaint and the pricey clothes

This is something  that you can’t change with ease                             Never knowing love has left you in a  freeze                                                       Love for you is in a shopping bag                                                                                 Or on the tip of a scalpel for a nip tuck on a sag

You thought all it took was that you’d spend your money                                In your constant quest for beauty, you got UGLY 

<Guitar solo>

In your constant quest for beauty, you got UGLY                         You thought all it took was that you’d spend your money                                              Drop-dead beauty? NO! — Just drop-dead cluelessness                                Superficial outside masks the inside emptiness
