Alien

Have you ever felt left out of the group, excluded?
Given the boot
When you knew you should have been a shoo-in?
Like, some ancient Druid was pursuant to ruin your life
With curse but worse, he brought his whole damn crew in

And now it's high-noon and you're a target to shoot at
This school's a battlefield, no wonder you're truant
They always look at you and they boo at what you're doing
And you go off like a bomb at the Olympics in Munich

Nah, you're just an extraterrestrial
Less than respectable
You'll never get to get the girl
You're just a jester at the festival
I guess it's acceptable
To peg your head with vegetables and kick you in the testicles
And best off all, let you know that you're a filthy dog and you'll never be best in show

So why the abuse?
'Cause all a bully needs is a fucking excuse

Planet Earth, I need a friend
'Cause I'm on the outside looking in
I'm an Alien
I'm just an Alien
Feeling lost but never found
'Til I find myself being pushed around
I'm an Alien
Yes, I'm an Alien

I'mma be honest
It gets better, I promise
So don't let them ground you down to a pound of sawdust
Stay on the stage the longest 'til the gong hits and everybody comments
On their fondness of your polish and your overall knowledge

Remain calmest and abolish your modesty
'Cause honestly, you got to be positive, you're a prodigy
You show the world that you're not one to mess with
It's a broken home that makes these bastards aggressive

You can expect to get rejected
Neglected, stripped naked, and tested until they reckon
You feel terrible 'cause nothing is comparable
Violence ain't the answer but the pain is unbearable
You're nice and jaded from being isolated
Now you coast through life feeling twice as hated

So why the abuse?
'Cause all a bully needs is a fucking excuse

Planet Earth, I need a friend
'Cause I'm on the outside looking in
I'm an Alien
I'm just an Alien
Feeling lost but never found
'Til I find myself being pushed around
I'm an Alien
Yes, I'm an Alien

Axel on the drums!

RUN!

Well, Planet Earth, I need a friend
'Cause I'm on the outside looking in
I'm an Alien
I'm just an Alien

Oh, feeling lost but never found
'Til I find myself being pushed around
I'm an Alien
Yes, I'm an Alien
No, oh
I'm an Alien
Yes, I'm an Alien, oh
