Do you see that girl with the bleach-blonde hair?
Talking and laughing with her friends over there?
I bet you're thinking that she's just a klutz

Miss Popularity, making boys go nuts

But I bet you didn't know she's got a brain in her head

For all the flirting she does she's never gone to bed

She'll be graduating med school come next May

Surprised a beauty queen could be a doctor someday?
Do you see that boy with the cross tattoo?

Hands folded, eyes closed, thinking things through?
I bet you're thinking he's just a good-for-nothing jerk

Dropped out of high school and can't find work

But I bet you didn't know he's got a college degree

He's working on a Master's in Youth Ministry

Got elected as director of the Outreach Board

Surprised that such a ruffian would ever serve the Lord?

Look at you staring at these poor souls

You had them playing all the wrong roles

I wonder, when they look at you, what will they see?
Just another nobody telling them who to be

Do you see that girl with her nose in a book?
Scribbling notes without a second look?
I bet you're thinking she's just another brainiac

No social life but at the top of her class

But I bet you didn't know all the problems she's had

Looks so perfect but she's got it pretty bad

Dad's gone, Mom's in jail, she's losing hope

Surprised that she's paying her tuition selling dope?

Do you see that boy with the ripped up jeans?
Flannel shirt, shaggy hair, looking kind of mean?
I bet you're thinking he's living out on the road

Penniless, jobless, ain't got a home

But I bet you didn't know how he got those scars

No, he didn't spend his nights fighting in bars

He just came home from carrying a gun

When they left, there were twenty, now he's the only one

Look at you staring at these poor souls

Cause you had them cast in all the wrong roles

I wonder, when they look at you, what will they see?
Just another nobody telling them who to be

You had no idea how wrong you'd be

Judging them just cause they look like that

You have no idea how stupid you sound

I bet you wanna just take it all back

Look at you, staring at these poor souls

You had them playing all the wrong roles

I wonder, when they look at you, what will they see?
Just another nobody telling them who to be

You're just another nobody telling them who to be
