Lyrics Declan McKenna

Declan McKenna

I Am Everyone Else

Children on the street

The cowardly and scared

And powerfully prepared

For things I dare not speak of in all of my lifetime

For I am ready

Mother nature calls

And beckons them to come

The innocent and done

To witness persecution for my privilege

For I am ready

To turn the many into some

Before you run out of rhyming words for scum

Why'd you act sick and pretend?

Pretend that you've never known it

Aren't you just sick of spending

All your time getting noticed

You showed me the message you sent

And act like you never wrote it

Well, aren't you just sick of your friends?

Your friends with ulterior motives

'Cause I am everyone else

I am everyone else

I am everyone else

I am everyone else, I

I am insecure

As pretty as I seem

It's a reoccurring theme

I've never heard much different in all of my lifetime

For I am ready

I love and care for you

As ugly as you are

You're precious, you're a star

Your energy is admirable at the most

For I am ready

To reconsider what you have

Before you run out of rhyming words for chav

Why'd you act sick and pretend?

Pretend that you've never known it

Aren't you just sick of spending

All your time getting noticed

You showed me the message you sent

And act like you never wrote it

Well, aren't you just sick of your friends?

Your friends with ulterior motives

'Cause I am everyone else

I am everyone else

I am everyone else

I am everyone else, I
