I'm that kid on every playgroundWho's always chosen lastA single teenage motherTryin' to overcome my pastYou don't have to be my friendIs it too much to ask?

[Chorus:]Don't laugh at me, don't call me namesDon't get your pleasure from my painIn God's eyes we're all the sameSomeday we'll all have perfect wingsDon't laugh at me.

I'm the cripple on the cornerYou pass me on the streetI wouldn't be out here beggin'If I had enough to eatAnd don't think that I don't noticeThat our eyes never meet.

I lost my wife and little boySomeone crossed that yellow lineThe day we laid 'em in the groundIs the day I lost my mindRight now I'm down to holdin'This little cardboard sign.

[Chorus:]

I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm short, I'm tallI'm deaf, I'm blind, hey aren't we all?
