Lyrics and translation
Original
This is a fair request
And I promise I will not judge any person
Only as a teenager
If you will constantly remind yourself
That some of my generation
Judges people by their race
Their belief or the colour of their skin
And that this is no more right than saying
"All teenagers are drunken dope addicts or glue sniffers"
But do you think it's strange, that there's a way
Of how you looked, and how you act, and how you think?
Pretend they're not the same as you
But do you think it's strange, that there's a way
Of how you looked, and how you act, and how you think?
And pretend they're not the same as you
Do you know about her 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?
Keep us from saying anything
Can't separate from everything
And 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
But do you think it's strange, that there's a way
Of how you looked, and how you act, and how you think?
And pretend they're not the same as you
And do you know about her 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?
Keep us from saying anything
Can't separate from everything
And 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
And 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
Do you know about her strength in convictions
Or how she puts all her faith in religion?
Did you take the time to really discover
How little we know about each other?
Keep us from saying anything
Can't separate from everything
And 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
And 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
