Let's get real, you can call me 'token'
Could sugarcoat it, but why lie?
I've got the same potential as anyone,
but you can't see past my muddy eyes
I know you care
It's such a shame, yeah
The little things so trivial just piss you off
And I can tell that I'm boring you, yeah
or is it my complexion that put you off?
Let's get real, you don't have to like me
and if you did I'd consider it a miracle
I'd tell you my last name but it's not worth it
You'll just complain it's got too many fucking syllables.
I know you care
It's such a shame, yeah
The little things so trivial just piss you off
And I can tell that I'm boring you, yeah
or is it my complexion that put you off?
I know you care
It's such a shame, yeah
The little things so trivial still piss you off
And I can tell that I'm boring you, yeah
or was it my complexion that put you off?
