Lyrics

Underbelly

[Verse]

How the prayer rubs the rosary

How the make up makes her face pretty

Oh, how we have an underbelly

Bitten by brutality

How there’s guts fried up

How Lothario leers at slut

Oh, how we have an underbelly

Bitten by brutality

And how

In our first and last years

We are the most needy, least greedy, most grateful, least hateful

How we die as deeply doe-eyed as we start

Woo-ooh

[Instrumental Outro]
