Lyrics:

today i am dirty, i want to be pretty
tomorrow, i know i'm just dirt
today i am dirty, i want to be pretty
tomorrow, i know i'm just dirt

we are the nobodies, we wanna be somebodies 
when we're dead they'll know just who we are
we are the nobodies, we wanna be somebodies 
when we're dead they'll know just who we are

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 wanna be somebodies 
when we're dead they'll know just who we are
we are the nobodies, we wanna be somebodies 
when we're dead they'll know just who we are

some children died the other day, we fed machines and then we prayed
puked up and down in morbid faith, you should have seen the ratings that day
some children died the other day, we fed machines and then we prayed
puked up and down in morbid faith, you should have seen the ratings that day

we are the nobodies, we wanna be somebodies 
when we're dead they'll know just who we are
we are the nobodies, we wanna be somebodies 
when we're dead they'll know just who we are
we are the nobodies, we wanna be somebodies 
when we're dead they'll know just who we are
we are the nobodies, we wanna be somebodies 
when we're dead they'll know just who we are
