UGLY

UGLY


The giving sun goes round again
Looking down with great disdain
Eight billion souls pollute the globe
Devolving frontal lobe
Used as tools by political ghouls
Kaboom baboon exploding brain
Pasteurized in cellophane 

The living sun goes round again
Disgusted by the human stain
Rules and codes, mechanized lips
Disconnected fingertips
Tapping screens 
Infiltrating sacred genes

The forgiving sun goes round again
With desire to end their reign
Filthy lucre, dirty deals
Scraping by to get their meals
Playing games, nothing real
There's no cure, they've gone insane
Like Iggy Pop and Kirk Cobain

The livid sun goes round again
Burning down their toxic domain
Blackened Ichor stains their gob
Cursing life and dead-end job

Nothing left but beat up bone
Chugging booze to set their tone
Trapped by thoughts of monochrome
Fortified with cardboard and Styrofoam
Tossing out their soul with the bathwater
Masochistic self-slaughter 

The wise old sun goes round again
Weaving life through every vain
Questions why it gives a damn
Feeding selfish reckless man
Earth's a rancid garbage can

Never ending human waste
Bad mentality sealed their fate
Destroying nature's last defenses
Shutting down her vital senses

Round it goes, the tired sun
Planet Earth is over-run
Systems dyeing  one-by-one
Miracles only do so much

The human race is out of touch
Prayers failed, they've gone too far
Say goodbye to shining star
Outer space they'll have to flee
There's nothing left but Ugly
