Usually when I hear laughter
I think someone's getting a beat down
But sometimes that's not the case
Sometimes they're just laughing
At the futility of everything
Then I know I like them
'Cause I was raised by crows in the city
I was raised by crows, all alone
If you were raised by crows too
Then you would understand
I was raised by crows in the city streets
I have been across this land, from coast to coast
Everybody thinks they know just what the hell is normal
They look at me with desperate eyes
"Ain't that just so much like a" such and such
But I can't agree
'Cause I was raised by crows in the city
Up on telephone poles, all alone
If you were raised by crows too
Then you would understand
But you weren't raised by crows
You weren't raised by crows
You weren't raised by crows, but
I wish you'd understand
I was raised by crows in the city streets
