Me Myself & Irene movie - Barrytown lyrics
rate meSong by Ben Folds Five<br /><br>
I'm not one to look behind I know that times must change<br>
But over there in Barrytown they do things very strange<br>
And though you're not my enemy <br>
I like things like they used to be<br>
And though you'd like some company <br>
I'm standing by myself<br>
Go play with someone else<br>
I can see by what you carry that you come from Barrytown<br>
<br>
Don't believe I'm taken in by stories I have heard <br>
I just read the Daily News and swear by every word <br>
And don't think that I'm out of line <br>
For speaking out for what is mine <br>
I'd like to see you do just fine<br>
But look at what you wear <br>
And the way you cut your hair <br>
<br>
I can see by what you carry that you come from Barrytown<br>
<br>
In the beginning we recall that the word was hurled <br>
Barrytown people got to be from another world<br>
<br>
Leave me or I'll be just like the others you will meet <br>
They won't act as kindly if they see you on the street <br>
And don't you scream or make a shout <br>
It's nothing you can do about <br>
It was there where you came out <br>
It's a special lack of grace <br>
I can see it in your face <br>
<br>
I can see by what you carry that you come from Barrytown <br>
<br>
