He was in my class, he lived on your street
_____
He was the one across the street, yeah, you've seen him
_____
He shared your heart on cruel mornings
_____
You laughed at him 'cause he was different
_____
Today it's still the same story
_____
In life or in hallway rumors
_____
In shiny glass offices
_____
Just like in school corridors
_____
It's always the mob effect
_____
That sorts us and shuts us out
_____
On screens, behind masks
_____
In eyes that are chuckling
_____
It's always the mob effect
_____
That sorts us and shuts us out
_____
He was in my class, he lived on your street
_____
He was the passer-by but I don't remember his name
_____
How stupid we can be when we're a crowd
_____
I admit with a heavy heart, yeah, I laughed with them
_____
Today it's still the same story
_____
In life or in hallway rumors
_____
In shiny glass offices
_____
Just like in school corridors
_____
It's always the mob effect
_____
That breaks us and hits us
_____
On screens, behind masks
_____
In eyes that are chuckling
_____
It's always the mob effect
_____
That breaks us and isolates us
_____
He was on the sidelines and there were lots of us
_____
You gotta put someone down to feel better
_____
He was in my class, he lived on your street
He was the one across the street
