Mr. Sensitive
David Cook · David Cook [2008]
Watch him scream, watch him shout
Through the silence, through the silence
Give him ears, give him eyes
Give some point to the cries and the violence
Oh, the violence
Hear him scream your name
I would like to introduce Mr. Sensitive
The one who never let the worst get the best of him
Get the best of him
This city feels low
Against the gleam and the glow
Of his diligence to their elegance
Just feel anger, feel pain, feel the sun and the rain
Just feel something
Oh, feel something
Hear him scream your name
I would like to introduce Mr. Sensitive
The one who never let the worst get the best of him
They throw the stones at bricks and bones
He didn't stand a chance, they said
A little boy, the world in tow, but ignorance is bliss
I would like to introduce Mr. Sensitive
The one who never let the worst get the best of him
I would like to introduce Mr. Sensitive
The one who never let the worst get the best of him
Get the best of him
Mr. Sensitive
