lyrics
Let's go driving past city limits tonight
I hear the streetlights shine like stars
Come on, it's our chance to get out of this place
These people, they don't know who we are
We've been told that we are ugly
We've been told that we are weird
Well, they beat us down and they kicked us in
But, girl, I swear they won't find us here
We are the forgotten
We are the forgotten
We are the forgotten, babe
Well, let's forget them too
In my car, I put the windows down, down
So I can feel the wind on my skin
Almost makes me feel human
So I'll pick you up at a quarter 'til 9
And we'll make our last go around
Speeding down that blacktop into the dark
We'll see if they remember us in this town
We were told we were ugly
We were told that we were weird
Well, they beat us down and they kicked us in
But, girl, I know they can't find us here.
We are the forgotten
We are the forgotten
We are the forgotten, babe
Well, let's forget them too
I hear the streetlights shine like stars
Come on, it's our chance to get out of this place
These people, they don't know who we are
We've been told that we are ugly
We've been told that we are weird
Well, they beat us down and they kicked us in
But, girl, I swear they won't find us here
We are the forgotten
We are the forgotten
We are the forgotten, babe
Well, let's forget them too
In my car, I put the windows down, down
So I can feel the wind on my skin
Almost makes me feel human
So I'll pick you up at a quarter 'til 9
And we'll make our last go around
Speeding down that blacktop into the dark
We'll see if they remember us in this town
We were told we were ugly
We were told that we were weird
Well, they beat us down and they kicked us in
But, girl, I know they can't find us here.
We are the forgotten
We are the forgotten
We are the forgotten, babe
Well, let's forget them too
