Lyrics
UGLY
This was ugly from the day this started
The hate is deep at the root
If you’re looking for a pardon
You’re going to have to live with the truth
Things been going on too long
Everybody knows its wrong
When will we be done
With ugly Americans
This time i think it’s boiling over
There’s people filling the streets
Now that the Revolution’s global
Everybody’s up on their feet
Things been going on too long
Everybody knows its wrong
Got to stop giving out guns
To ugly Americans
You don’t know what you don’t see
But we all live and breathe
Just looking for the love we need
Some people have it made
Some can’t catch a break
Some are just alone and afraid
If you don’t like to see their pain
Because the reasons are to ugly to face
You should know that something’s got to change
i’m praying for the human race
This was ugly from the day this started
The hate is deep at the root
If you’re looking for a pardon
You’re going to have to live with the truth
Things been going on too long
Everybody knows its wrong
When will we be done
with ugly Americans
Got to stop giving out guns
to ugly Americans
