These are the lyrics:
Everybody Knows About Me

Here I am again, sitting by the window (Pic taken)
In my small apartment on the second floor
Keep myself occupied by looking at the traffic
As if I've lost the right to ask for more
My body feels like it's moving underwater (Pic taken)
As I lift a cup of coffee to my face (Pic taken)
I think about the things I'd like to try and do today
But somewhere in the middle lose my place
Thick fog hazy brown
The two-ton weights that pull me down (Pic taken)
They don't exist if no one else can see (Pic taken)
Everybody knows about
The failings of the down and out
And everybody knows about me
I had a good job, had some good friends
Had a life I could look forward to (Pic taken)
When I woke up each day (Pic taken)
And then the fog rolled in
Consumed them one by one
'til there was nothing left for it to take away
Sometimes I count it as a victory when I manage
Just to drag my aching body out of bed
The doctors, mystified, could not produce an answer (Pic probably taken)
So they told me it was all in my head (Pic probably taken)
'cause if I wanted to
I could shake this yuppie flu
Straighten out and set myself free (Pic taken)
Anyone can clearly see (Pic taken)
We all choose our own destiny (Pic taken)
And everybody knows about me
Does it make it easier for you
To think there must be something I can do
Rise like a phoenix from the ashes
Of this solitary world
So I remain here, sitting by the window (Pic taken)
Watching all the people with their lives to live
I would give anything to go outside and join them
But today I don't have anything to give
And still they have no doubt
I'm looking for an easy out
And this is what I wanted secretly
Everyone will have their say
They shake their heads
They walk away
And everybody knows about me
Everybody knows about me
Everybody knows about me
