[Intro]
This is a fair request and I promise
I will not judge any person only as a teenager
And you will constantly remind yourself that some of my generation
Judges people by their race, their belief, or the color of their skin
And that this is no more right than saying
All teenagers are drunken dope addicts or glue sniffers

[Verse 1]
Don't you think its 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
Don't you think its 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

[Refrain]
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?

[Chorus]
Keep us from saying anything
And separate from everything
And all this really means is
You're the one in the crowd
And paranoid of every sound
You're not the friend
You won't miss any how
[Verse 2]
Don't you think its 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

[Refrain]
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?

[Chorus]
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 any how
You're not the friend, You won't miss any how

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]
And do you know about her strength in convictions
Or how she puts all her faith in religion?
Did ya take the time to really discover
How little we know about each other?
[Outro]
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 paranoid of every sound, you're paranoid of every sound
You're paranoid of every sound
