They welcome you with broken arms
And wary eyes to stave off harm
And they move around exactly like we do
They're paranoid, they keep their space,
They live in dreams they can't erase
And they carry ghosts around the place like glue
And they'll keep you at the length of the arm of their shirt
'Cause they got hurt one day
They are the people that life forgot
They are the people that life forgot
They are the people that life forgot
And they're okay
And your lack of trust of all you see
Will never crush the trust in me
You're just living dust as far as I can tell
Any love I have, you'll never earn
And your moral stance ain't my concern
And my hate for you will follow you to hell
And they'll drink themselves through every day
To get them through the night
They are the people that life forgot
They are the people that life forgot
They are the people that life forgot
And that's alright
Those people, all those tiny people
They'll make you pay for all that they can't adhere to
Oh thanks to God, you're not one of them people
And them people ain't one of you
They are the people that life forgot
They are the people that life forgot
They are the people that life forgot
They are the people that life forgot
And they'll rag on you 'bout the way you dress
And the way you wear your hair
They are the people that life forgot
They are the people that life forgot
They are the people that life forgot
And they don't care
And we don't care
([Yeah, you know what kind of people I'm talking about])
And we don't care
([Their opinions come in one direction])
And we don't care
([They're loud, incompetent and they're very, very wrong])
WAY!
