Tied out laces, dirt on all our faces We can't fit in with the crowd: Uneven teeth, dried out lips Do we ever feel a bit proud? Empty pockets, plenty of losses As our problems echo so loud. _They don't see us; as we see them all._ Torn out socks, shoes with rocks Kicked by the foot of life: Bleeding noses, and dead roses Our gardens never survive: Living divided, we're all misguided At the edge of a sharp knife. _They don't see us; as we see them all._ __Look at us!__ They think they're better driving fancy cars, __Look at us!__ They think they're better spending chips at bars, __Look at us!__ They think they're better buying off the people, __Look at us!__ They think they're better treating us less than equals, __Look at us!__ They think they're better with their ass' sunlit, But even if you try to hide it; we all go through some _shït._ _We are the misfortunate;_ _Who missed good fortunes_ _We are ringing in your head?_ But do you ever hear us calling?

They don't see us (Look at us!)
Tied out laces, dirt on all our faces We can't fit in with the crowd: Uneven teeth, dried out lips Do we ever feel a bit proud? Empty pockets, plenty of losses As our problems echo so loud. _They don't see us; as we see them all._ Torn out socks, shoes with rocks Kicked by the foot of life: Bleeding noses, and dead roses Our gardens never survive: Living divided, we're all misguided At the edge of a sharp knife. _They don't see us; as we see them all._ __Look at us!__ They think they're better driving fancy cars, __Look at us!__ They think they're better spending chips at bars, __Look at us!__ They think they're better buying off the people, __Look at us!__ They think they're better treating us less than equals, __Look at us!__ They think they're better with their ass' sunlit, But even if you try to hide it; we all go through some _shït._ _We are the misfortunate;_ _Who missed good fortunes_ _We are ringing in your head?_ But do you ever hear us calling?
