You see me on the street,
there is no need to explain
I'm not what you think I am,
I'm just like you but with tattoos!

Cause I wear my heart on my sleeve
my appearance may be deceiving
it doesn't matter what you think
because the truth is in me!
This is the life I chose
this is the only thing I know
so don't pass judgement on me!
The places that I've been
forever written on my skin
so don't pass judgement on me!

You see me walking down the street
and you grab your kids and cross the other side
looking me like i'm a fucking criminal a degenerate lowlife
you got me all wrong!

Cause I wear my heart on my sleeve
my appearance may be deceiving
it doesn't matter what you think
Because the truth is in me!
This is the life I chose
this is the only thing I know
so don't pass judgement on me!
The places that I've been
forever written on my skin
so don't pass judgement on me!

You know you can't judge a book by it's cover
you know you got me all wrong
and I know my appearance may be deceiving
but I feel… I-FEEL-IT-ALL
SO DON'T PASS JUDGEMENT ON ME!

This is the life I chose
this is the only thing I know
so don't pass judgement on me!
The places that I've been
forever written on my skin
so don't pass judgement on me!

It doesn't matter what you think
because the truth is in me!
