Sorry I couldn't be there
I was tied to a rocking chair
I was beat down to a pulp rocking back and forth somewhere
If you knew, if you saw
you'd have said it was the final straw
That my life was momentarily on a porch by the shore
But there's no no no no no
easy way to tell inside the things you know
and run run run run
when they say they think they know
exactly so
It's alright, it's alright
Am I the only one who see us fine?
What are we? Who are they?
Who says those bouncers don't deserve to care?
But it's enough just to know that we don't stand a chance
So long as they're around you're just another song and dance
It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair
Still I'm the only one who seems to care
It's funny being funny
makes you feel like up and running
When your past lingers like rain clouds casting shadows below
I could live with so many burdens
I take all your hope and yearning
But there's nowhere, hide and take me
from their petty little woes
I used to glow glow glow glow glow
Once I had a life to show
A love they know
They're slow slow slow slow slow
so slow that they never know
Where I go
It's alright, it's alright
Am I the only one who see us fine?
What are we? Who are they?
Who says those bouncers don't deserve to care?
But it's enough just to know that we don't stand a chance
So long as they're around you're just another song and dance
It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair
Still I'm the only one who seems to care
I know that it's always something
I'm just working with what I've been given
It's not my fault I'm happy
Don't call me crazy I'm happy
It's alright, it's alright
Am I the only one who see us fine?
What are we? Who are they?
Who says those bouncers don't deserve to care?
But it's enough just to know that we don't stand a chance
So long as they're around you're just another song and dance
It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair
Still I'm the only one who seems to care
