Matthew Sweet - The Ugly Truth lyrics

You don't want to die

But the living gets you down

We want you to act like nothing's wrong

Even though you heard a sound

And then you're ripped right out of the ground

Like a fucking root

Ah, you simply cannot hide

From the ugly truth

You feel you must be wise

Cause you could find yourself

Among a sea of smiling faces

It's a way I've never felt

Yeah, it kinda flies right into my face

And out the other side

The ugly truth leaves nothing to decide

The ugly truth makes every one of us a liar

Ugly

If you can dig a big enough hole

To bury all your loot

No you still won't be prepared for the ugly truth

No you'll never be prepared for the ugly truth

You simply cannot hide from the ugly truth

Ugly
