Ugly Children Lyrics

We are the ugly children

We are the other people

We never go to parties

We never win the prize

We are the waits and extras

We are the also rans

We never get the contract

We never go to parties

We are the ugly children

Deep in the bargain basement

Forgotten and forsaken

We plan our reconstruction

This is the speed of light

And this is the speed of shit

This is the heart of the matter

And this is the edge of it

We are the ugly children

We are the cannon fodder

We never go to parties

We never end the story

We are the other people

We are a darker matter

In your peripheral vision

You never saw our actions

And in our eyes and glasses

There is a world reflected

But when we speak our lines

It's not what you expected

This is the speed of light

And this is the speed of shit

This is the heart of the matter

And this is the edge of it

We are the ugly children

We are the other people

We never go to parties

We never get invited

This is the speed of light

And this is the speed of shit

This is the heart of the matter

And this is the edge of it

This is the shape of hope

And this is a piece of rope

This is a box full of broken toys

And this is a hole in the roof

This is the speed of light

This is the speed of dark

This is a walk through a minefield

And this is a walk in the park
