Bully's Lament Lyrics
Well lanky lenny is to tall to be lost and found
too big for the cages at the city pound,
so what will we do?
oh what will we do for fun and for free?
It seems the roads are growing wider and wider almost every day,
well i used to love to drive but now i stay off the lanes,
what is the use,
of standing up if there's no where to lead
oh ya, but somehow, were getting by
i know it seems a little bit easier to touch the sky
oh but something is coming for you,
somethings coming for me
oh but can you see
no ya no no no no
not like the others
ya maybe its true
no no no no no no
no no no no no no
not like the others
we couldn't be
oh if we wanted to
ouuuuuuu
Oh lazy laurens to small
to go out outdoors
to loud for the neighbors
to slow for the chores
what will we do?
what will we do for fun and for free?
seems the roads are growing wider and wider almost every day,
well i used to love to drive but now i stay off the lanes,
whats the use?
of looking out if there's nothing to see
oh but you and me
mmmmmmmm
No ya oh no no
not like the others
ya maybe its true
no no no no no no no ya no no
not like the others oh when we couldn't be
ou if we wanted to
oh oh ohhh oh ohhh
too big for the cages at the city pound,
so what will we do?
oh what will we do for fun and for free?
well i used to love to drive but now i stay off the lanes,
what is the use,
of standing up if there's no where to lead
oh ya, but somehow, were getting by
i know it seems a little bit easier to touch the sky
oh but something is coming for you,
somethings coming for me
no ya no no no no
not like the others
ya maybe its true
no no no no no no
no no no no no no
not like the others
we couldn't be
oh if we wanted to
ouuuuuuu
to go out outdoors
to loud for the neighbors
to slow for the chores
what will we do?
what will we do for fun and for free?
seems the roads are growing wider and wider almost every day,
well i used to love to drive but now i stay off the lanes,
whats the use?
of looking out if there's nothing to see
oh but you and me
mmmmmmmm
not like the others
ya maybe its true
no no no no no no no ya no no
not like the others oh when we couldn't be
ou if we wanted to
oh oh ohhh oh ohhh

All people are bullies. But Alejandro is not so much accusing as he is embracing. People don't carry all of the hurtful things they say with them. They go home and examine what was said at the end of the day. Life is too busy to consider another person's feelings in the bustle. People examine their interactions after the fact. They take them out and view them in a magnifying glass.
But not us----we're not like the others. It's such a love song. We absolve ourselves of wrong doing. You don't say hurtful things. You have no frailties. We are the only perfect ones.----It is so beautiful and self-aware.
