Outcasts - Boole

You and I are so alike

We despise the other side

Through our bond, we become strong

Until the threat has come and gone

Self-appointed, unanointed

Captain of the cool

Single filing, wryly smiling

Casualty of school

Throw me out of the outcasts

I don’t want to be like you

Out of the outcasts

Fed from a smaller spoon

Dressed so plain, and so mundane

They could never feel our pain

Beneath the noise of misfit toys

An organ grinder muse

Artist fools and dating pools

With everything to lose

Throw me out of the outcasts

I don’t want to be like you

Out of the outcasts

Fed from a smaller spoon

Throw me out of the cool crowd

Kick me out of the scene

You tell me that we’re nothing like them

But I don’t even know what you mean

Dr. Jimmy, what do you mean?

Give me an answer, give me an answer

With them gone, we can all be swans

At long last, we can live the past through new outcasts

This remedy is killing me

It masquerades as freedom

My final view on blue milieus?

I do not need you

Throw me out of the outcasts

I don’t want to be like you

Out of the outcasts

Fed from a smaller spoon

Punk is still alive, but it’s elsewhere

And all the New Romantics are old

Our fun has all become like a runway

Our clan is manufactured and sold

Sew your identity onto your sleeve

And then climb onto the stage and be among the deceived

File into the gaff as the audience laughs

Because every single person has been choreographed

Take your education at the vanity school

And try to build a reputation understudying fools

Sing a suicidal solo on a sold-out night

Like a life-aborting leper under medical light

Fear all things unfamiliar

Cheer a nervous four on the floor

Boo the few who challenge the fashions

I think I’ve seen this movie before

I can never be directed

Cheered or booed, or hook-corrected

Productized, or crucified

By narcissistic eyes leading colorless lives

Life means so many things to me

And it definitely isn’t just a series of scenes

I am undenied, and undisguised

Uneuthanized, uncompromised, like you?

Am I like you?

Am I like you?

Am I like you?

Am I like you?

Am I like you?

Am I like you?

Are you even like you?

Am I like you?

Am I like you?

Am I like you?

Am I like you?

Am I like you?

Am I like you?

I don’t even like you

Dr. Jimmy, what do you mean?

Give me an answer, give me an answer
