Slowthai - Ugly 2023

Pokaż cały tekst Toy soldiers in line fall like dominos
One man's trash is cash, for some, it's liquid gold
Said that you love me and you make me feel ugly
Said that you love me but you make me feel ugly
TV screens, adverts, and the grown men
Cryin' like infants for no reason
People make mountains out of mud hills
Boys with their toys and flexin' their muscles

U-G-L-Y, U-G-L-Y, U-G-L-Y, U-G-L-Y, U-G-L-Y

When pigment's a depiction of class
When your body has to be a wine glass
You drop your guard, you realise it's hard, it's ugly
Lovin' is brittle plastic, but soft in the middle, the same as Skittles
When vultures purge with a piercing grin, your boss won't fuck off
And you're on the brink, the rent is due and you're overspent
The world is ugly (The world is ugly, the world is ugly)
The world is ugly (The world is ugly, the world)

I'm sick of toyin' with a broken idea (Sick of it)
I'm sick of thinkin' there's a reason I'm here (Why, why, why?)
We're just puppets in a simulation (Just puppets)
We're just puppets in a simulation
With a pipe dream like a pipe bomb in the eighties (Boom)
White screen, bein' brainwashed to a regime
Stuck gettin' lead we're dogs out the kennel
All this trauma in the name of a medal

U-G-L-Y, U-G-L-Y, U-G-L-Y, U-G-L-Y, U-G-L-Y
U-G-L-Y, U-G-L-Y, U-G-L-Y, U-G-L-Y, U-G-L-Y

You will notice when I'm not around
Ten minutes late to say you're sorry
At first, they love you, then they're stubbin' you out
We kill each other for some juice and a bit of clout
And progress we test man made devices
Gettin' tired of migrants, the only ones tryin'
You will stare in admiration, you will stop what you're doing
Cut the tension with a butter knife, you are not in control
The moment the world stands still (The moment the world stands still, stands still, stuck)
You are not in control, the moment the world stands still (You are not in control, you are not in control)
You are not in control (The moment, the moment the world stands still, you are not in control)
