Ugly town

A punk song

Stone dead eyes in ugly town

ugly people and ugly frown

pure deceit and perfect lies

friends and lovers and family ties

Ch :

 **Drowning in the bullshit

sunlight fades to black,

returning from the other,

now there's no turning back,*

Braindead eye in future time

dark decay and constant crime

the daily grind of untold years

ugly scars and ugly tears,

Ch;

Stone cold mind in no man head

unwanted dreams in unmade bed

angry streets of hate and more

ugly town knocking at the door,

Ch;

 *Drowning in the bullshit

sunlight fades to black

returning from the other

now there's no turning back.

you're a good writer and i think you know it so i won't comment on that. what i find interesting about this is that you say this is a song. i've thought too about putting some of my poems to music, and posting them to youtube or somewhere, then linking them on here. i just haven't done it yet. i'm sure once one of us does it then it will catch on. i'm mostly from California so my punk bands are Swinging Utters and Germs, but i listen to everything but pop because pop isn't real music.

the fact that you thought that I think I am a good writer which you weren't going to comment on, which you commented on made me laugh, cheers dude, as for the tech stuff - don't have a scooby do, if you find out let me know, as for the punk st, uff, 2 great bands check out some old skool SST, I think Husker Du would like you

[PaintedBirdy]

cheers, for sure.

I lived in ugly town for many years. You've certainly caught the spirit. Do you have the tune written for this as well? Would be cool to hear a recording.

now you mention it, there is an old bass line reverberating round my brain, will have a root aboot in me backtracks,

I have known many fine people thru-out my life, but I find humans (in general) to be all that you describe here so chillingly. Sometimes it feels good to just say it like it is (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

sure does, shout it out loud, it is a punk song after all

Ok this is Glasgie I am taking it? A punk song a la The Buzzcocks perhaps. Interesting and angry like all good punk.

well, this could have been my old city after I moved from there in 1958...in the sixties it became this.

a couple of jersey cities and our northern friends up in chicago might cry for these conditions...
"angry streets of hate" all over the country...so many need work...but we just go to other countries and help fix them instead....wake up leaders.
