Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is a fair request
And I promise I will not judge any person only as a teenager
That you will constantly remind yourself that some of my generation
Judges people by their race, their belief, or the color of their skin
And that this is no more right than saying all teenagers
Are drunken dope addicts or glue sniffers
[Verse 2]
Do you think it's strange that there's a way
Of how you look and how you act and how you think?
Pretend they're not the same as you
Do you think it's strange that there's a way
Of how you look and how you act and how you think?
Pretend they're not the same as you
[Verse 3]
Do you know about his strength in convictions?
Or how she puts all her faith in religion?
Did we take the time to really discover
How little we know about each other?
[Verse 4]
Keep us from saying anything
Can't separate from everything
Yet all this really means is
You're one in a crowd and you're paranoid of every sound
You're not the friend you won't miss anyhow
[Verse 5]
Do you think it's strange that there's a way
Of how you look and how you act and how you think?
Pretend they're not the same as you
[Verse 6]
Do you know about his strength in convictions?
Or how she puts all her faith in religion?
Did we take the time to really discover
How little we know about each other?
[Verse 7]
Keep us from saying anything
Can't separate from everything
Yet all this really means is
You're one in a crowd and you're paranoid of every sound
Keep us from saying anything
Can't separate from everything
Yet all this really means is
You're one in a crowd and you're paranoid of every sound
You're not the friend you won't miss anyhow
[Verse 8]
Do you know about his strength in convictions?
Or how she puts all her faith in religion?
Did we take the time to really discover
How little we know about each other?
[Verse 9]
Keep us from saying anything
Can't separate from everything
Yet all this really means is
You're one in a crowd and you're paranoid of every sound
Keep us from saying anything
Can't separate from everything
Yet all this really means is
You're one in a crowd and you're paranoid of every sound
Paranoid of every sound
Paranoid of every sound
