[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Everybody's scared by anyone who's weird
Don't judge a book by the cover of it
Sometimes wе get misinterpretеd

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
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
