When I was a boy I needed nothing at all
I lied down on the ground and watched the stars to fall
I played hide and seek with my imaginary friend
I threw myself in the wind, I threw myself in the sand
Is this something I have to pay for now?
For the carelessness I forgot somehow
Cause now I'm one of the boys that grew up to be men
To have a job, house, wife, kids and a plan
I am anonymous in an alienated crowd
My immature dreams are lost and never to be found
I feel like empty hollow man with no past
Though my emotions flow, I have to let them go
We all wanted to be special and to change the world
But now our names have been forgotten and we won't be heard
We are the nobodies that run it all
We are the part of the show that'll never let us go
I study hard to prepare myself for making a change
But all of what I've learned seems to me so strange
I'm being pressed inside the box I don't fit in
I have to greet every day with a fake plastic grin
Maybe one day I'll be able to make ends meet
If not, I'll have to deal with it and live on the street
Nobody said that the world would be just and fair
Nobody ever told me why should I even care
I am anonymous in an alienated crowd
My immature dreams are lost and never to be found
I feel like empty hollow man with no past
Though my emotions flow, I have to let them go
We all wanted to be special and to change the world
But now our names have been forgotten and we won't be heard
We are the nobodies that run it all
We are the part of the show that'll never let us go
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
No, I'm not the only one
No, I'm not the only one that'll die for nothing
I am anonymous in an alienated crowd
My immature dreams are lost and never to be found
I feel like empty hollow man with no past
Though my emotions flow, I have to let them go
We all wanted to be special and to change the world
But now our names have been forgotten and we won't be heard
We are the nobodies that run it all
We are the part of the show that'll never let us go
