Odd Man Out Lyrics

He'd never been part of the cool kids

Though he tried so hard to just what they did

Then he hid underneath a mask of skater hair

And a metalhead vibe that he don't care

So there never was a time when he fit in

Though he did his best he failed before he could begin

It's a sin to be odd man out

Yeah, he was always odd man out

Welcome to the life of an ordinary loser

Reject, no respect, chemical abuser

Trapped in the halls of a broken-down school

Trying so desperately to be cool

The fool doesn't understand why life's so hard

He never got A's on his report card

He wasn't a jock, wasn't a brain

He was too busy trying to look insane

'Coz we all need somewhere to go (somewhere to go)

And we all need a place like home (a place like home)

And we all need to carry on (to carry on)

And to feel like we belong

So the kid went and hid from the bullies in the backseat

In his room, sonic doom, pulverizing backbeat

Anthrax rippin' the stereo

Sabbath bloody sabbath, the only gods he'd known

Metallica and Misfits, man

The poster army that would help me make a plan, take a stand

To kill the kid's never-ending loneliness

In a world that couldn't care less

'Coz we all need somewhere to go (somewhere to go)

And we all need a place like home (a place like home)

And we all need to carry on (to carry on)

And to feel like we belong, yeah

But time moves on and wounds, they heal

Though everything he felt was real

He'd be OK in the end

So if you're not part of the cool kids

Never worry coz it's all about what they did, all they did

Back when they were kids

But you won't always be kids

'Coz we all find somewhere to go (somewhere to go)

And we all make a place called home (a place called home)

And somehow we carry on (carry on)

And we learn that we belong, we belong
