Ugly

I could have read a poem called

Ozymandias to her instead.

I lived for the moment,

It was a futile gesture anyway,

I was here and she was here,

And being broad of minds and hips,

We did the only thing possible.

I guess I shouldn't have strangled her to death,

But I had to go to work,

And she had laced my coffee with acid.

Normally I wouldn't have minded,

But I'm allergic to sulphuric acid.

Besides, she had acne,

And if you've got acne,

Well, I apologise for disliking you intensely,

But it's understandable

That ugly people have got complexes.

I mean, it seems to me

That ugly people don't have a chance.

It's only the children

Of the fucking wealthy

Who turn out to be good looking.

An ugly fart attracts a good looking chick

If he's got money.

An ugly fart attracts a good looking chick

If he's got money.

An ugly fart attracts a good looking chick

If he's got money.

It's different for Jews somehow.

I'd like to see a passionate film between

The two ugliest people in the world.

When I say ugly I don't mean rough looking,

I mean hideous.

Don't tell me that aesthetics are subjective,

You know all the truth

When you see it,

Whatever it is.

Muscle power!

Muscle power!

Muscle power!

Muscle power!
