Hiding my feelings from everyone around
I got to take it through otherwise I'll just stay down
It's that same old story they say they're by your side
Funny how they fade when you're caught against the tide

Well, they don't care
I'm just a passerby

At first I thought that I could get myself a little more
Syndrome of greatness got me crawlin' on the floor
Soul has found a mirror and started itself a war
Poet wanted to swim but now he's screaming for the shore

But they don't care
I'm just a passerby
Nobody cares
I'm just a passerby

Watching dawn turn to dusk and view turn to fog
The pressure shows out strong
and that's something maybe I'm not
So I'll do my best not to crack and not to bend
And keep my head busy in this rock n' roll band

'Cause they don't care
I'm just a passerby
Nobody cares
I'm just a passerby
For 7 billion people
I'm just a passerby
Nobody cares
I'm just a passerby
