Everyone But Me by Mammal Not Fish Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We were the innocent
Oh, so very small
You took the left
I took the right fork
Down the road
It's not who we are or what we do
Judged only by perception of the bitter few
Angry whispers across the internet
Keyboard warriors call to arms
And they never rest
The quiet girl who sat her own
Is now a half-naked screenshot on every man's phone
[Pre-Chorus]
And I saw you just the other day
I walked passed, I didn't quite know what to say
I want to take you away
And make you my girl
[Chorus]
So I'll buy myself a drink
Get ready for the weekend
Everybody knows you're gonna' be sleeping
With everyone but me
I'll buy myself a drink
Get ready for the weekend
Everybody knows you're gonna' be sleeping
With everyone but me
Everyone but me
Everyone but me
[Verse 2]
A cold wind blows between those two extremes
You're a modern day gutter, society's queen
Was fame and fortune always your goal
And was it ever so easy to sell your soul
Those fifteen minutes, are you really a star?
Enjoy the parties
And the candy
And the paps
And fast cars
I suppose when the hits start to tumble
Well there'll always be a place for you in the jungle
[Pre-Chorus]
And I saw you just the other day
I walked passed, I didn't know quite what to say
I want to take you away
And make you my girl
[Chorus]
So I'll buy myself a drink
And get ready for the weekend
Everybody knows you're gonna' be sleeping
With everyone but me
I'll buy myself a drink
Get ready for the weekend
Everybody knows you're gonna' be sleeping
With everyone but me
Everyone but me
Everyone but me
[Chorus]
I'll buy myself a drink
Get ready for the weekend
Everybody knows you're gonna' be sleeping
With everyone but me
I'll buy myself a drink
Get ready for the weekend
Everybody knows you're gonna' be sleeping
With everyone but me
[Outro]
Everyone but me
Everyone but me
Everyone but me
Everyone but me
We were the innocent
Oh, so very small
You took the left
I took the right fork
Down the road
It's not who we are or what we do
Judged only by perception of the bitter few
Angry whispers across the internet
Keyboard warriors call to arms
And they never rest
The quiet girl who sat her own
Is now a half-naked screenshot on every man's phone
[Pre-Chorus]
And I saw you just the other day
I walked passed, I didn't quite know what to say
I want to take you away
And make you my girl
[Chorus]
So I'll buy myself a drink
Get ready for the weekend
Everybody knows you're gonna' be sleeping
With everyone but me
I'll buy myself a drink
Get ready for the weekend
Everybody knows you're gonna' be sleeping
With everyone but me
Everyone but me
Everyone but me
[Verse 2]
A cold wind blows between those two extremes
You're a modern day gutter, society's queen

I'll buy myself a drink
Get ready for the weekend
Everybody knows you're gonna' be sleeping
With everyone but me
Everyone but me
Everyone but me
[Chorus]
I'll buy myself a drink
Get ready for the weekend
Everybody knows you're gonna' be sleeping
With everyone but me
I'll buy myself a drink
Get ready for the weekend
Everybody knows you're gonna' be sleeping
With everyone but me
[Outro]
Everyone but me
Everyone but me
Everyone but me
Everyone but me
