Lyrics: Misunderstood

You've got a t-shirt emblazoned
With nobody misunderstands me
And you've tried writing contraversial
But despair at your lack of infamy
You say

I wanna be misunderstood
Nobody misunderstands me
If the world would listen
It would hear my cry
I don't know myself
And I wonder why

And you're longing for heroes
As you're fumbling through the philosophies
And it's not quite conversation
When you speaking of things that you don't believe
And you say

I wanna be misunderstood
Nobody misunderstands me
If the world would listen
It would hear my cry
I don't know myself
And I wonder why

It's not hip to be messed up
When there's no cameras around
Come on, get up
Get your chin off the ground
We've all been there
We've all played the part
And falling together comes from falling apart
And you say

I wanna be misunderstood
Nobody misunderstands me
If the world would listen
It would hear my cry
I don't know myself
And I wonder why
Nobody misunderstands me
Well here's the advice that my t-shirt gives
I know myself
I know myself
I know myself and I wanna live
