I can hear them talking about us
Throwing insults down
I can see them fearful faces
Knowing we’re from out of town
We’re the boys
We’re the girls
How we look is who we are
We’ll take you on
You will learn
You’re just debris orbiting a star
So what you say
Is blown away
Like dust in a breeze
We’ll drive by
Look straight in your eye
Locked you up and lost the keys
We’ve had to fight
To speak so soft
Say so much with looks
We see the light
Pay the cost
We can call your bluff
So if you see us on our streets
Don’t pass us by again
We’re silently and desperately
A living means to an end
