Biography:
Annapolis, MD based Bumpin’ Uglies (also known as the Uglies) are deliberately carving out their own captivating niche in the rock/reggae scene. The Uglies come with a fresh new approach that smoothly incorporates reggae, ska and rock, coupled with honest, well-written lyrics that weave clever, real-to-life stories throughout their work. The mixture is unique, yet reminiscent of earlier reggae and ska bands with the talent and attitude to forge a DIY path to success, such as Sublime, The Mad Caddies and Reel Big Fish.

F Bb F
I dream the most when I'm awake I've found
Dm C F Bb F
lofty expectations keep my feet upon the ground
C F
life's too short for settling
F Bb F
The road less traveled is the one I tend to take
Dm C F Bb F
relishing the challenges as proof that I'm awake
C F
life's too short for settling
Bb
So I take the journey day by day
C
giving everything with no restraint
Dm
but the fear of failure remains inside
Gm
the pain reminds me I'm alive
Bb C F
I'm happiest when I am struggling
F Bb F
I've been warned but I will not succumb
Dm C F Bb F
to preparing for a future I'm not sure will ever come
C F
lifes too short for hedging bets
F Bb F
Passion's all I've left in my possession
Dm C F Bb F
so I'll keep all the faith I have in rhymes and chord progressions
C F
lifes too short for settling
Bb
so I take the journey day by day
C
giving everything with no restraint
Dm
but the fear of failure remains inside
Gm
the pain reminds me I'm alive
Bb
and its all I've known, its all that's real
C
it's the only thing I'll ever feel
Dm
the only regret I'll admit
Gm
is I've only got one life to give
Bb C F
I'm happiest when I am struggling
