You here to see the ugly people?
They're the only people
That live here
We used to have some nice people here
Kind, friendly people
Who baked pie
And watched tv
Snuggled up on the couch together
But then the ugly people moved in
And now that's all we got
Ugly people
We got a guy who used to be something
We don't know what, but we heard it was something
Now just sitting around
Getting screamed at
By that woman
That woman used to be all right
Until she started screaming
Then she got hooked on it
Like our nephew
Who got hooked on meth
Can't even close his mouth now
Poor thing
Anyway she got used to screaming
And he got used to screaming
And pretty soon the baby joined in
And now they just scream all the time
And sometimes we listen
And sometimes it's because we can't help it
We used to go over there
For barbecue sometimes
But we quit that
After a knife went flying by our heads
When the guy asked the girl
If she'd fed the baby yet
'IT'S YOUR DAMN BABY TOO, GODDAMMIT!'
And the knife went flying
Right by our heads
We never went back after that
But we can still hear them screaming
And the baby right along with them
All going off
Like sirens
It's a shame
It really is
Used to be a pretty neighborhood
Used to be a nice place to live
Now it's just ugly
And ugly people live here
