The Ugliest Things in the World Are the Most Beautiful

A dog with one foot An arm covered in cuts Living in a tent beneath the street A trampled flowerbed Bright green covers for your couch And scrawls decorating your walls Graffiti on a sidewalk A face full of tattoos Dancing barefoot in a parking lot Mascara down your cheeks A wheelchair adorned with flowers And a rat infested mind The ugliest things in the world Are the most beautiful And those cracks only make the sidewalk prettier Even the trash blowing down the street outshines the Mona Lisa I'd like to burn down All those white modern houses Let the sun glitter Off the broken glass And I'd like to write Simple songs So everyone can relate And sing along A burning flag in the wind A face covered in sores Sweat pouring down your arms A gap between your teeth A voice that stays flat And shoes without soles or laces Shadows dancing in your vision A fly dancing through the air Laughing at jokes from someone who isn't there Voices cracking with passion A song that will never rhyme Things that people say are a waste of time The ugliest things in the world Are the most beautiful And those cracks only make the sidewalk prettier Even the trash blowing down the street outshines the Mona Lisa I'd like to burn down All those white modern houses Let the sun glitter Off the broken glass And I'd like to write Simple songs So everyone can relate And sing along
