Misinterpreted - The Murlocs

Drifting backpacker, hitched to St Kilda

Wasn’t quite the dream she’d seen in magazines

Teenage Dracula, stayed in Canberra

Never saw the beach or even left his street

Queen of the beauty pageant, she’s her high school captain

Despite her grades, her chariot awaits

Trust fund college kid who couldn’t give a shit

Daddy’s credit card, he knows it off by heart

Everybody’s scared by anyone who’s weird

Don’t judge a book by the cover of it

Sometimes w get misinterpretd

Couldn’t-fit-in Tristan, twisted in his system

With a sicker mind, we couldn’t read the signs

Where’s your oldest friend?

Stuck in his bedroom den?

He used to socialise, caught up with the wrong guys

Simple ferreters, bogan inherited

Broke in the chicken pen and slaughtered everything

Thumb holes in her jumper, used to make me wonder

Till she showed the scars all across her arms

Everybody’s scared by anyone who’s weird

Don’t judge a book by the cover of it

Sometimes we get misinterpreted

Expectations low when you’re so grateful

Some might be rich, but inside, they’re skint

Sometimes we get misinterpreted

Everybody’s scared by anyone who’s weird

Don’t judge a book by the cover of it

Sometimes we get misinterpreted

First impressions send mixed messages

But in the end, we’re not all bad eggs

Sometimes we hit the nail right on the head
