Sorry I couldn't be there, I was tied to a rocking chair
I was beat down to a pulp rocking back and forth somewhere
If you knew, if you saw, you'd have said it was the final straw

That my life was bound and tethered on a porch by the shore

But there is no easy way to tell them so, the things you know

And run they say, they think they know exactly so

It's not right, it's not right

How am I the only one who sees us fight?
What are we? Who are they?
Who says those !@$(s don't deserve to pay?

Well it's enough, it's just enough 'cause we don't stand a chance
So long you stay around, you're just another song and dance
It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair

Still I'm the only one who seems to care

It's funny that being funny makes you feel like up and running

When your past lingers like rain clouds, casting shadows below
I could live with so many burns, I take all your hope and yearning
But there's no one I want to take me for that petty little rose


I used to glow, once I had a love to show, a love they know
They're slow, so slow that they never know where I go


It's not right, it's not right
How am I the only one who sees us fight?

What are we? Who are they?
Who says those !@$(s don't deserve to pay?
Well it's enough, it's just enough 'cause we don't stand a chance

So long you stay around, you're just another song and dance
It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair
Still I'm the only one who seems to care


I know that it's only something
I'm just working with what I've been given

It's not my fault, I'm happy
Don't call me crazy, I'm happy


It's not right, it's not right
How am I the only one who sees us fight?
What are we? Who are they?

Who says those !@$(s don't deserve to pay?
Well it's enough, it's just enough 'cause we don't stand a chance
So long you stay around, you're just another song and dance

It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair
Still I'm the only one who seems to care
