The Ugly Underneath Lyrics

    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
