Lyrics
Thorn in your Side<br />
<br />
Some people look, some people stare, some people turn away<br />
Stumbling over words as if their tongue was in the way<br />
Some people act as if their mind was made up anyway<br />
<br />
Some people talk, some people shout, some people shut their mouth<br />
Some people’s ears are tuned out from living underground<br />
Some people laugh, some people act as if they’re looking down<br />
<br />
Some walk in safety, that is if they ever walk at all<br />
Some people see a world where life’s as fragile as their mind is small<br />
Living in big glass houses with their big glass walls<br />
<br />
I’m not the thorn in your side<br />
I’m not the break in your heart<br />
I’m not the speck in your eye<br />
I’m not the falling apart<br />
I’m not the floor<br />
I’m not the ceiling<br />
I’m not the fear<br />
I’m not the fear<br />
I’m not the feeling<br />
<br />
Some people like to find a box that they can live inside<br />
Some people never understand, some people never try<br />
Some people’s minds are just as narrow as the truth is wide<br />
(We ought to know)<br />
<br />
Some people stay, some people flee, some see the enemy<br />
Some people find a solace in their ideology<br />
Some people see a world encumbered by diversity<br />
<br />
I’m not the thorn in your side<br />
I’m not the break in your heart<br />
I’m not the speck in your eye<br />
I’m not the falling apart<br />
I’m not the floor<br />
I’m not the ceiling<br />
I’m not the fear<br />
I’m not the fear<br />
I’m not the feeling<br />
