If You’Re Ugly, Forget It lyrics

Lyrics

Oh, can you see that girl's
Immaculate shoulder?
Do you want to get
Your name on her folder?
Hope may spring eternal
But you should not let it:
Hear the unspoken words -
"If you're ugly, forget it"

Oh, can you see that guy?
No wonder you hate him:
He's captain of the footy -
You, of the debating
You have the rest of your life
With which to regret it -
Obey the unstated rule:
"If you're ugly, forget it"

There's still one place left
For the desperate try hard -
Become an artist;
Join the avaunt garde
But even in the ghettos
You're likely to get it -
That unbroken rule:
"If you're ugly, forget it"

And so to suicide
You are finally driven
You'll ask old st. peter
"Can I get into heaven?"
He'll point to your tombstone -
The sentence? you've read it:
The unwritten law -
"If you're ugly, forget it"

The worst bands are the most popular
Arseholes make the most money
Insecure twats become famous
Lunatics embrace religion
Incompetent people are the loudest
Stands of principle are the least genuine
Government funding means people don't like it
Well read people don't know anything
The avant garde are deeply conservative
Saving the world is a waste of resources
Throw out what's useful and re-cycle your garbage
Nothing happens to ambulance subscribers
