Let Them Say

Ba-bu-ba-bu-ba-ba-ya

Ba-bu-ba-bu-ba-ba-ya

Ba-bu-ba-bu-ba-ba-ya

Ba-bu-ba-ba-ya

People see me acting strange

They might think it's a burning shame

But the people don't realize

The pangs of hell that I feel

So let them say I'm mad

They don't know how it feels to be sad

I don't know who would be glad

In a situation like this

With my last shirt torn off my back

But that's not quite the fact

My shoe is down to my sock

No place to lay my head

I don't even own a bed

I can't remember when I've eaten bread

They don't seem to realize

What really keeps me alive

It's the power

There's nothing so great

That no man can destroy

They try to understand

Just where I get my happiness

So they can criticize

While I look and live

My last shirt's torn off my back

But that's not quite the fact

My shoe is down to my sock

No place to lay my head

I don't even own a bed

I can't remember when I've eaten bread

Ba-bu-ba-bu-ba-ba-ya

Ba-bu-ba-bu-ba-ba-ya

Ba-bu-ba-bu-ba-ba-ya

Ba-bu-ba-ba-ya

Ba-bu-ba-bu-ba-ba-ya

Ba-bu-ba-bu-ba-ba-ya

Ba-bu-ba-bu-ba-ba-ya

Ba-bu-ba-ba-ya

People see me acting strange

They might think it's a burning shame

But the people don't realize

The pangs of hell that I feel

So let them say I'm mad

They don't know how it feels to be sad

I don't know who would be glad

In a situation like this

With my last shirt torn off my back

But that's not quite the fact

My shoe is down to my sock

No place to lay my head

I don't even own a bed

I can't remember when I've eaten bread
