God Ugly World

Waitin' at the traffic lights
Your skin is cold
And your fists clenched tight
At first we're just strangers
But now I know you well

It's crazy I know
But under your cold
There's a heart beating just like mine
And God only knows
I've felt that cold
I've felt that damp risin' up inside

I don't know your name but
I know who you are
You're like a child who's screaming
"Save me from the dark"

Somebody hold me
Somebody own me
Somebody take away this pain
Somebody hold me
And bring me back to life again
It's a God ugly world
If the tables were turned
Would you have what it takes to survive
It's a God ugly world
When you're not being heard
And you say you've been left there to die
It's a God ugly world

It's a God ugly world
It's a God ugly world

You were once a father, once a mother
Once a sister to someone else's brother
The journey was short
But it took your whole life
You know your own pride
It's crazy I know
But under your cold
There's a heart beating just like mine
And God only knows
I've felt that cold
I've felt that damp risin' up inside

I don't know your name but
I know who you are
You're like a child who's screaming
"Save me from the dark"

Somebody hold me
Somebody own me
Somebody take away this pain
Somebody hold me
And bring me back to life again
It's a God ugly world
If the tables were turned
Would you have what it takes to survive
It's a God ugly world
When you're not being heard
And you feel like you're left there to die
It's a God ugly world

It's a God ugly world
It's a God ugly world
It's crazy I know
But under your cold
There's a heart beating just like mine
And God only knows
I've felt the cold
I've felt the damp risin' up inside
