[Verse 1]
It's only water
In a stranger's tear
Looks are deceptive
But distinctions are clear
A foreign body
And a foreign mind
Never welcome
In the land of the blind
[Pre-Chorus]
You may look like we do
Talk like we do
But you know how it is
[Chorus]
You're not one of us, not one of us
No, you're not one of us
You're not one of us, not one of us
No, you're not one of us
[Verse 2]
There's safety in numbers
When you learn to divide
How can we be in
When there is no outside?
It's only water
In a stranger's tear
Looks are deceptive
But distinctions are clear
A foreign body
And a foreign mind
Never welcome
In the land of the blind
[Pre-Chorus]
You may look like we do
Talk like we do
But you know how it is
[Chorus]
You're not one of us, not one of us
No, you're not one of us
You're not one of us, not one of us
No, you're not one of us
[Verse 2]
There's safety in numbers
When you learn to divide
How can we be in
When there is no outside?
