Freakshow 05:23
I wasn't born a freak I was born who I am The circus came later When they couldn't understand To be born under punchlines When all I want is to breathe Turned out not quite what they wanted Sold off at thirteen And what a fuckin' relief I keep my anger in notebooks And my passion on the stage I sell out night after night after night after night And every Sunday a parade Come see me in the parade Yeah, every Sunday a parade Wish I could grab 'em all and say That now that I'm who I want All anybody seems to want is to stare The only monsters in the freakshow Have paid to get their ass in those chairs I'm not a Sunday School lesson Just decided not to live my life scared The only monsters in the freak show Lurk in the closet under the stairs I found some love for the first time She's as removed as myself Paired up we swim against the current Like a couple mermaids from Hell I hear you call me Rob as in Robert That's a mistake no that's not who I am The bearded lady's what the barker calls me But to you it's YES MA'AM YES MA'AM  YES MA'AM I wasn't born a freak I was born who I am The circus came later When they couldn't understand Couldn't understand, couldn't Now that I'm who I want All anybody seems to want is to stare The only monsters in the freakshow Have paid to get their ass in those chairs I'm not a Sunday School lesson Just decided not to live my life scared The only monsters in the freak show Lurk in the closet under the stairs I wasn't born a freak I was born who I am The circus came later When no one could understand No one could understand I wasn't born a freak I was born I was born who I am The circus came later When no one could understand No one could understand I wasn't born a freak I was born who I am The circus came later When they couldn't understand I wasn't born a freak I was born who I am
