Lyrics

NOBODY KNOWS
Mama said, "Boy keep your head down
Keep your ear to the ground
And remember that redemption
Always comes back around."
My coats a little big
I've always known the game is rigged
I lack social graces
I'm aware I just don't fit
There's bookies, cheats and swindlers
And the grifters know the score
I heard Frankie Wings got pinched
Outside The Lakeview Liquor Store
There's a smell of blood and fear
And failure spilled by men in here
I got the ghosts of Willy Loman's sons
Singing in my ear
I'm just a nobody nobody knows
I'm just a nobody nobody knows
I'm just a nobody nobody knows
And Mama it's alright, Mama that's alright by me
You probably wouldn't notice
If I ever passed you by
I feel so invisible
Sometimes I wanna die
The odds are always stacked against us
These days it's getting worse
But I heard the cruel new golden rule is
Hit em where it hurts
Most times my minds a mess
Out here among the dispossessed
It feels I'm playing checkers
While the world is playing chess
I'm just a nobody nobody knows
I'm just a nobody nobody knows
I'm just a nobody, maybe, someday I'll be somebody
Nobody nobody knows but Mama it's alright, Mama it's alright
Mama that's alright by me
The hustlers and the harlots
Sing a 'Switchblade Serenade'
Be careful when you're near me
I'm a human grenade
I'm like a lion in a cage
With an unassuming rage
Throwing punches in the dark and still
Acting half their age
I see you on the corner
Coming my way everyday
Soon I'm gonna get the courage
To finally say "Hey, what's your name?
I'm just a nobody
I'm just a nobody, nobody knows
I'm just a nobody, Mama it's alright."
I'm just a nobody, nobody knows
I'm just a nobody, nobody knows
I'm just a nobody, maybe someday I'll be somebody
Nobody nobody knows and Mama it's alright
Mama it's alright
Mama it's alright by me
