Lyrics

I wish I could lie in the sun
The same things as anyone
I wish I could lie down there
With my feet high in the air

I'd have a drink in my hand
Read words from a newspaper stand
I wish I could lie in the sun
Wish I could fly like everyone

Same things as anyone
Same things as anyone

But you burn me up, you paint my skin
In bad designs, that aint even in

My skin's crawling up the wall
Into the ocean I'd love to fall
I hear the sounds but they ain't the same
As feeling them with you, two feet away

There's always more worse off than me
Suppose I'm lucky I can even see
All the people that I'd like to be
Passing me by everyday in the street

Same things as anyone
Same things as anyone

But you burn me up, you paint my skin
In bad designs, that aint even in
I got good lungs, I've got a good heart
My mind is fit and my feet can walk

And here I am in the shade on the street
Asking people for money to eat
What did I ever do to deserve this?
Did I kill a child or something worse?

Same things as anyone
Whats the reason, maybe make you feel
How much more fortunate you are than me

La la la laaaa
La la la la la laaaa laaaa
La la la la la laaaa
La la la laaaa
La la la la la laaaa laaaa
La la la la la laaaa
