Set me up, set me up, set me up   Set me up, set me up, set me up      Right in front of me, dropping another game now   I watch your face as your eyes look down   Away from my glance back stabbed   As I hear the crack drop smack, I count the ways   Your little whispers swell to greet my daze      Underground, so down, your scene above me   So eager to put yourself above me   Now I see so clearly, I'm not down, I never could be   And it's long past time for me to show you      Speak my mind in response to your condescending way   Of placing me below your feet it's not what you know   What all you know and all I know now is you live for the show      Smiles in my face with smirks in your eyes   And I understand what it means to be little in your eyes   Not I or none of my attempts to be on the inside   I'm not down, I never could be and it's time, this time to show you      Set me up, knocked down   Set me up, knocked down   Set me up, knocked down from your clique, you      Set me up, knocked down   Set me up, knocked down   Set me up, knocked down from your clique, you      Understand how you rejected me   Understand how you rejected me   Understand how you rejected me   I look at your face and I weep for your scene      So I ask myself what needs to be said   What now, what light can I shed   It's a battle to fight off the angry thoughts   That's runnin' to escape my head, so      It's plain as day, you can see   And I don't have the right to explain myself to you   So don't look away or turn away, laugh away   'Cause your scene is dead today      Set me up, knocked down   Set me up, knocked down   Set me up, knocked down from your clique, you      Set me up, knocked down   Set me up, knocked down   Set me up, knocked down from your clique, you      Understand how you rejected me   Understand how you rejected me   Understand how you rejected me   I look at your face and I weep for your scene      We can't bring ourselves back down to this level   We can't bring ourselves, we can't bring ourselves   We can't bring ourselves back down to this level   We can't bring ourselves back down to this level   You're no better than me      Down with all that took us away   From standing as one and living as one   Am I so different from you   That you cannot dispel with your status and look in my face      Am I, so separate from you   That I cannot break free from this stereotype today   Am I, so distant from you   That I cannot regard me as equal and clean this stain
