Lyrics
[Verse 1]
To be exposed
In all my strife
You gaze upon
My troubled life
But it don't bother me
What you see
[Verse 2]
You take my name
And hang it high
You paint my picture
With colored lies
But it don't bother me
What you do
[Verse 3]
You twist my words
Like plaited reeds
To mark your gain
And help your needs
But it don't bother me
What you say
[Verse 4]
What truth is told
Of who I am
Shall break the silence
Of waters calm
But it don't bother me
Who I am
[Verse 5]
But if you were
A beggar boy
You'd sing of riches
You could enjoy
But it, it don't bother me
What they are
[Verse 6]
I'm thinkin' now
I'd rather hide
Or turn my back
Or stand aside
But it, it don't bother me
What I do
