Set Me Up

Set me up, set me up, set me up

Set me up, set me up, set me upRight in front of me, dropping another game now

I watch your face as your eyes look down

Away from my glance back stabbed

As I hear the crack drop smack, I count the ways

Your little whispers swell to greet my dazeUnderground, so down, your scene above me

So eager to put yourself above me

Now I see so clearly, I'm not down, I never could be

And it's long past time for me to show youSpeak my mind in response to your condescending way

Of placing me below your feet it's not what you know

It's who you know and all I know now is you live for the showSmiles in my face with smirks in your eyes

And I understand what it means to be little in your eyes

Not I or none of my attempts to be on the inside

I'm not down, I never could be and it's time, this time to show youSet me up, knocked down

Set me up, knocked down

Set me up, knocked down from your clique, youSet me up, knocked down

Set me up, knocked down

Set me up, knocked down from your clique, youUnderstand how you rejected me

Understand how you rejected me

Understand how you rejected me

I look at your face and I weep for your sceneSo I ask myself what needs to be said

What now, what light can I shed

It's a battle to fight off the angry thoughts

That's runnin' to escape my head, soIt's plain as day, you can see

And I don't have the right to explain myself to you

So don't look away or turn away, laugh away

'Cause your scene is dead todaySet me up, knocked down

Set me up, knocked down

Set me up, knocked down from your clique, youSet me up, knocked down

Set me up, knocked down

Set me up, knocked down from your clique, youUnderstand how you rejected me

Understand how you rejected me

Understand how you rejected me

I look at your face and I weep for your sceneWe can't bring ourselves back down to this level

We can't bring ourselves, we can't bring ourselves

We can't bring ourselves back down to this level

We can't bring ourselves back down to this level

You're no better than meDown with all that took us away

From standing as one and living as one

Am I so different from you

That you cannot dispel with your status and look in my faceAm I, so separate from you

That I cannot break free from this stereotype today

Am I, so distant from you

That I cannot regard me as equal and clean this stain
