Hiding my feelings from everyone around I got to take it through otherwise I'll just stay down It's that same old story they say they're by your side Funny how they fade when you're caught against the tide Well, they don't care I'm just a passerby At first I thought that I could get myself a little more Syndrome of greatness got me crawlin' on the floor Soul has found a mirror and started itself a war Poet wanted to swim but now he's screaming for the shore But they don't care I'm just a passerby Nobody cares I'm just a passerby Watching dawn turn to dusk and view turn to fog The pressure shows out strong and that's something maybe I'm not So I'll do my best not to crack and not to bend And keep my head busy in this rock n' roll band 'Cause they don't care I'm just a passerby Nobody cares I'm just a passerby For 7 billion people I'm just a passerby Nobody cares I'm just a passerby
