Have you seen me I just might be your little baby?
|
Have you seen me I'm lookin' at you with grown up eyes?
|
Every milk carton and highway billboard sign says maybe.
|
Have you seen me or have you only seen my disguise?
|
|
I had a fight with mama and she said she couldn't stand me.
|
I had a fight with papa and he really likes to swing his fist.
|
I'm sick and tired of all those stupid rules they hand me.
|
They try to make me feel I have no right to exist.
|
|
Have you seen me, well I've seen you.
|
I've seen what the grown ups do.
|
I've seen I can do that too.
|
Have you seen me?
|
|
Well I'm older now than I was the day I vanished.
|
You might not even know me if you saw me passin' by.
|
Others take your place in the dark world of the banished.
|
On vicious streets where no one hears me cry.
|
|
Well you can't run, you can't hide
|
turn your face, walk inside.
|
Can't close your doors, because I'm yours.
|
Have you seen me?
|
|
Well I'm fighting in Nicaragua, I'm fighting in Afghanistan.
|
In Israel I wear a gun, in Palestine a rock is in my hand.
|
In Africa you see me starve, in America they just throw me away.
|
But I'm making history that other kids will read about some day
|
|
Have you seen me, well I've seen you.
|
I've seen what the grown ups do.
|
I've seen I can do that too.
|
Have you seen me?
|
Have you seen me?
|
Have you seen me?
|
Have you seen me?
