Ugly Stories Video (MV)

Everybody's raised to follow the Golden Rule
Go on, be a good boy; make your mark in school
But in this crooked world, our straight and narrow fails
With many falling back, to the same old crooked ways

Life is full of ugly stories; you might even have your own
The plot can twist, and the names are changed
But you know how it's gonna go
Life's just full of ugly stories; the kind everybody knows
Blame it on God or just call it fate, but the Devil gets what he's owed

Couples have their secrets, least that's what I hear
Between the sweetie poo and certainly, my dear
Sordid thoughts come bubbling up, after just a couple drinks
Left alone a bit too long; it goes as you might think

Life is full of ugly stories; the kind everybody knows
The plot can twist, and the names are changed
But you know how it's gonna go
Life's just full of ugly stories; makes for a heavy load
Blame it on God or just call it fate, but the Devil gets what he's owed

Sometimes I get confused; I just don't understand
Everybody says, God has this master plan
But all I see is random stories, one right after the other
And all that's left for you and me, is the struggle to recover

Life is full of ugly stories; you might even have your own
The plot can twist, and the names are changed
But you know how it's gonna go
Life's just full of ugly stories; the kind everybody knows
Blame it on God or just call it fate, but the Devil gets what he's owed
You can blame it on God or just call it fate, but the Devil gets what he's owed
