Us Lyrics by Joanna Burns

The Green Year

2011

Oh us
You know we're all the same
We wear the same damn clothes
We say the same damn things
And everybody knows
That we are all alike
No matter how special we may think we are inside
We look
We look at what we are
And swear it's what we're not
It seems we always knew
But maybe we forgot
That we are all alike
No matter how special we may think we are inside
Caught you from the back (wooah)
Like a heart attack (wooah)
But I tell you there're no reason to run
Away from the truth
Cause it's all been done
And we're nothing new
Oh us
We don't say what we mean
And we don't mean what we say
We pretty up our words
To fit the roles we play
And we are all alike
No matter how special we may think we are inside
Caught you from the back (wooah)
Like a heart attack (wooah)
But I tell you there're no reason to run
Away from the truth
Cause it's all been done
And we're nothing new
Caught you from the back (wooah)
Like a heart attack (wooah)
Took you by surprise (wooah)
Right before your eyes (wooah)
Taught you something old (wooah)
Feel it in your soul (wooah)
But I tell you there're no reason to run
Away from the truth
Cause it's all been done
And we're nothing new
