Today I'm dirty, I want to be pretty
Tomorrow I know I'm just dirt

Today I'm dirty, and I want to be pretty
Tomorrow I know I'm just dead

We are the nobodies
We want to be somebodies
We're dead, we know just who we are (2x)

Yesterday I was dirty, wanted to be pretty
I know now that I'm forever dirt
Yesterday I was dirty, wanted to be pretty
I know now that I'm forever dirt

We are the nobodies
We want to be somebodies
We're dead, we know just who we are (2x)

Some children died the other day
We fed machines
And then we prayed
beefed up and down, and mortified (immortified?)
You should've seen the ratings that day! (2x)

We are the nobodies
Want to be somebodies
We're dead, we know just who we are (3x)
