I fall down
But I get up
I've been here so long
Feels like nothin' anymore
I'll think of you
Don't brush me off
Both got bruises on our knees
Don't waste your worries, not on me

I don't belong
Though it helps to play along

Why can't they see me
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see
When I'm right here
I'm right here

When I get back
High in the bath
Let the water cover me
Down my back and in my beak
I'm free at last
But where I'm clipped
It don't bother me a bit
When I don't stop to think of it

I won't be long
When I am home I am still gone

Why can't they see me
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see
When I'm right here
When I'm right here

And at the show
When I'm in the crowd
You can't lick my wounds for me
The ones that grin and bare their teeth
Just put me down
But I'll be around
Mouth the words that I can't say
I wish that I would fade away

But that don't last long
Wait 'til tomorrow, it will be gone
It will

Why can't they see me
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see me
Why can't they see
I was right there
I was right there
