Stephin Merritt - Not One of Us lyrics

It's only water in a stranger's tear
Looks are deceptive
But distinctions are clear

A foreign body and a foreign mind
Never welcome in the land of the blind

You may look like we do talk like we do
But you know how it is

You're not one of us, not one of us
No, you're not one of us
You're not one of us, not one of us
No, you're not one of us

There's safety in numbers
When you learn to divide how can we be in
When there is no outside?

All shades of opinion feed an open mind
But your values are twisted


Let us help you unwind

You may look like we do talk like we do
But you know how it is

You're not one of us, not one of us
No, you're not one of us
You're not one of us, not one of us
No, you're not one of us

You may look like we do talk like we do
But you know how it is

You're not one of us, not one of us
No, you're not one of us
You're not one of us, not one of us
No, you're not one of us

You're not one of us, not one of us
No, you're not one of us
You're not one of us, not one of us
No, you're not one of us

You're not one of us, not one of us
No, you're not one of us
You're not one of us, not one of us
No, you're not one of us
