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
