Boole: Outcasts

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
