Don McLean - Have You Seen Me lyrics

Have you seen me I just
Might be your little baby?
Have you seen me I'm lookin' at
You with grown up eyes?
Every milk carton and highway
Billboard sign says maybe
Have you seen me or have
You only seen my disguise?

I had a fight with mama and
She said she couldn't stand me
I had a fight with papa and he
Really likes to swing his fist
I'm sick and tired of all those
Stupid rules they hand me
They try to make me feel I
Have no right to exist

Have you seen me, well I've seen you
I've seen what the grown ups do
I've seen I can do that too


Have you seen me?

Well I'm older now than I
Was the day I vanished
You might not even know me if
You saw me passin' by
Others take your place in the
Dark world of the banished
On vicious streets where no one hears me cry

Well you can't run, you can't hide
Turn your face, walk inside
Can't close your doors, because I'm yours
Have you seen me?

Well I'm fighting in Nicaragua
I'm fighting in Afghanistan
In Israel I wear a gun
In Palestine a rock is in my hand
In Africa you see me starve
In America they just throw me away
But I'm making history that other kids
Will read about some day

Have you seen me, well I've seen you
I've seen what the grown ups do
I've seen I can do that too
Have you seen me? Have you seen me?
Have you seen me? Have you seen me?
