This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Dm G

She's an ugly girl, does it make you want to kill her?

Dm G

She's an ugly girl, do you want to kick in her face?

Dm G

She's an ugly girl, she doesn't pose a threat.

Dm G

She's an ugly girl, does that make you feel safe?

CHORUS:

Am C G C

Ugly girl, ugly girl, do you hate her / 'Cause she's pieces of you?

She's a pretty girl, does she make you think nasty thoughts?

She's a pretty girl, do you want to tie her down?

She's a pretty girl, do you call her a bitch?

She's a pretty girl, did she sleep with your whole town?

CHORUS:

Pretty girl, pretty girl, do you hate her / 'Cause she's pieces of you?

You say he's a faggot, does it make you want to hurt him?

You say he's a faggot, do you want to bash in his brain?

You say he's a faggot, does he make you sick to your stomach?

You say he's a faggot, are you afraid you're just the same?

CHORUS:

Faggot, Faggot, do you hate him / 'Cause he's pieces of you?

You say he's a Jew, does it mean that he's tight?

You say he's a Jew, do you want to hurt his kids tonight?

You say he's a Jew, he'll never wear that funny hat again.

You say he's a Jew, as though being born were a sin.

CHORUS:

Oh Jew, Oh Jew, do you hate him / 'Cause he's pieces of you?

Then that's the only idea we'll ever have /

But maybe if we are surrounded in beauty /

Someday we will become what we see"
