I know a man who fills his emptiness

With strangers

I know a girl who drinks herself to sleep at night

You can't change her

I know people who use chat rooms as confessionals

I know down and outs who once were,

Once they were professionals

Wipe it off your sleeve

Your superiority

Don't roll your eyes, my sweet

I know a single mother who loses her mind

On weekends

She pleads with lady luck on scratch cards with money lent to her

By old friends

I know people who take midnight drives for head space

I know what they'd give for just one loving embrace

Wipe it off your sleeve

Your superiority

Don't roll your eyes, my sweet

We're just the same

We all get desperate sometimes

Feeling black and blue

I know you'll find it hard to accept it sometimes

We all feel black and we feel blue

Wipe it off your sleeve

Your superiority

Don't roll your eyes, my sweet

I know a rich man who has everything you could wish for

But children

I know an old lady who talks a lot but could teach you

If you listen

I know people who believe in gods and demons

I know ones who think there's nothing there at all

Wipe it off your sleeve

Your superiority

Don't roll your eyes, my sweet

We're just the same

We all get desperate sometimes

Feeling black and blue

I know you'll find it hard to accept it sometimes

We all feel black and we feel blue

Wipe it off your sleeve

Your superiority

Don't roll your eyes, my sweet

Wipe it off your sleeve

Your superiority

Don't roll your eyes, my sweet
