Name: The Alienation Song
Duration: P00H05M10S
Description: Recorded in 2002 for "A Change Of Atmosphere." I was never really happy with the way the original sounded, so it's been remixed and has a heavier sound now. It's still one of my favorites.

lyrics

I know they don’t like me very well
They think I’m crazy
They don’t even want to see inside
They must be lazy
I think I’m normal, but I’m not
I must be different
They want us all to be the same
Remain indifferent

It’s all right, it’s all right
If you leave me alone
It’s all right, it’s all right
I’ll just sit by the phone
It’s all right, it’s all right
You just do what you do
I could be a friend
--If you only knew me

You think that you’re all one big team
But I wasn’t chosen
You all act as if you’re one
Your hearts are frozen
I don’t need to be like you
I’m all I need to be
So I’ll just stay here on my own
And watch you snub me
