A folk rock tune that attempts to mirror the song title both vocally and instrumentally.
Written from a teenager's perspective, but who hasn't felt this way?
Bee: Vocals, guitars, harmonica, congas
Sandy: Banjo, vocals
Margo: Bass
Y: Drum

Continuing the album's them of "Human Nature", this tune is written from a teenager's perspective. Possibly many of us older folks still relate to the sentiment.
Lyrics
Over Here
Words and Music by Bee Branch
Took a long time to realize
A good report card would never catch your eye
Had to do something to make you see
Bad behavior is not a good idea,
But sometimes it’s the only way through fear
Had to do something to make you see
I’m over here!
Hanging out with the unpopular crowd,
Smoking cigarettes and thinking out loud
Don’t you see?
Treating life with blatant disregard,
Handling conflict with sarcastic remarks
Don’t you see? I’m over here!
If drastic measures were called for
We were the first ones in line
We’re over here
Took a long time to realize
A gold star is not the only prize
Don’t you see?
Bad decisions aren’t always
Made by bad minds.
They can take you down
The right road sometimes
Don’t you see? I’m over here.
