7 Seconds - Exceptional lyrics

Never ask me Where I'm standing That's no mystery Lines were drawn so Long ago it's ancient history Grew up hungry Often homeless Hardcore poverty No one ever gave me nothing Nothing came for free But I don't need your sorrow Don't need your sympathy And I'll get up tomorrow And fight the apathy I'm from a country So steeped in glory Some say, exceptional But for all the great we do We're so irrational I criticize it Because I love it No treason when I say We can do better And change the weather Put your flag away
