They Don't Understand - Beat Junkies

A mother riding on a city bus Kids are yelling kicking up a fuss Everybody's staring not knowing what she's going through Somebody said,? Don't you even care? Do you let 'em do that everywhere? She slowly turned around, looked up and stared She said,? Please forgive them? But they've been up all night Their father struggled but he finally lost his fight He went to heaven In the middle of the night So please forgive my children (They don't understand) Everybody's busy with their own situation Everybody's lost in their own little world Bottled up, hurry it up trying to make a dream come true (They don't understand) Everybody's living like there ain't no tomorrow Maybe we should stop and take a little time 'Cause you never really know what your neighbor's going through (They don't understand) A man driving on the interstate Slowing down traffic making everybody late Everybody's staring not knowing what he's going through Somebody hollered from the passing lane Yelled out the window, hey ain't got all day The old man looked around and caught his eye He said,? Please forgive me You know, it's been a long life? My wife has passed away and my kids don't have the time I've been left all alone And it's getting hard to drive So please forgive me children (They don't understand) Everybody's busy with their own situation Everybody's lost in their own little world Bottled up, hurry it up trying to make a dream come true (They don't understand) Everybody's living like there ain't no tomorrow Maybe we should stop and take a little time 'Cause you never really know what your neighbor's going through (They don't understand) A man hanging on a wooden cross Giving everything to save the lost Everybody's staring not knowing what He's going through Somebody said,? You don't have a prayer? If You were keen, you'd come down from there The man just turned His head looked up and stared He said,? Please forgive them? For they have not seen the light They'll come to know me when I come back to life Go to heaven to make everything all right So please forgive Your children (They don't understand) Everybody's busy with their own situation Everybody's lost in their own little world Bottled up, hurry it up trying to make a dream come true (They don't understand) Everybody's living like there ain't no tomorrow Maybe we should stop and take a little time 'Cause you never really know what your neighbor's going through (They don't understand) A mother riding on a city bus Kids are yelling kicking up a fuss Everybody's staring not knowing what she's going through

I'm a rolling stone Took you by surprise You're hanging onto something, anything Just like a shimmer of light Oh, how the sword, it fell I said, "You're really something—everything To me, and I'm cold, so hold me closer, baby" I don't understand why you like me so much 'Cause I don't like myself I don't understand why you like me so much Wish I was someone else You say you got a million reasons But I can't think of one I don't understand how you like me so much 'Cause I don't like myself Mm-mm I'll build a church for you They'll come from miles around 'Cause you're really something—everything To me, and I'm cold, so hold me closer, baby I don't understand why you like me so much 'Cause I don't like myself I don't understand how you like me so much Wish I was someone else You say you got a million reasons But I can't think of one I don't understand how you like me so much 'Cause I don't like myself Mm-mm, mm-mm

Is it getting better Or do you feel the same Will it make it easier on you now You've got someone to blame You say One love One life When it's one need In the night One love We get to share it It leaves you, baby, if You don't care for it Did I disappoint you Or leave a bad taste in your mouth You act like you never had love And you want me to go without Well it's too late Tonight To drag the past out into the light We're one, but we're Not the same We get to carry each other Carry each other, one Have you come here for forgiveness? Have you come to raise the dead? Have you come here to play Jesus To the lepers in your head? Did I ask too much More than a lot You gave me nothing now it's all I've got We're one but we're Not the same Well we hurt each other Then we do it again You say Love is a temple Love a higher law Love is a temple Love, the higher law You ask me to enter But then you make me crawl And I can't be holding on To what you've got When all you've got is hurt One love One blood One life you've got to do what you should One life With each other Sisters, brothers One life But we're not the same You get to carry each other Carry each other, one One One One One One One One One One One One
