I'm asked to recall events left to die
Distraught from the call, I say to you all:
No time to be sad, so we won't admit to it
Got some regret, but we'll never deal with it
Could silence a room, won't let them get to us
We go our own way, 'cause they'll never get to us
Call it lying to ourselves: saw the bluff, not giving up
'Cause all the girls with their skin and bones say
"We don't want you around"
All the dudes with their vacant looks say
"We don't want you around"
All the pills, all the thrills
Kids would die, and say
"We don't want you around"
We're not strangers to controversy
We hide in a hush, and we say to ourselves:
Made a mistake, but we won't admit to it
Should make a move, but we'll never get to it
Still silence a room, won't let them get to us
Don't care what they say, 'cause they'll never get to us
Here's a dollar for your cheapened scene
All I see is normality, so...
Hang around and they'll give you looks that say
"We don't want you around"
Talk sh**, and they'll give you looks that say
"We don't want you around"
Behind your back
They'll tear you up and say
"We don't want you around"
Removal is close, still I've built a defense
'Cause I'm low on luck, that lady's lost in a trance
Nothing to prove, you see, I'm out of my head
And afraid of the dark unless I'm with friends
So no one calls when I'm in pain anymore
Stay at home, add another blowout to the list
Out the door, I can only reminisce
All the girls with their skin and bones say
"We don't want you around"
All the dudes with their vacant looks say
"We don't want you around"
Everyone, everywhere
Shake their heads and say
"We don't want you around"
