Odd Man Out

I’m staying in, keep my head down,

I don’t wanna go.

It’s a hell out there, they hunt him down,

They don’t really know.

He’s ten years old, they look at him,

He’s the strangest one around.

Now he knows he doesn’t fit,

He’s the odd man out.

They say to me they tell the truth,

But that’s not what I see.

Feels like a conspiracy,

What do you want from me?

I’m not sure I’ll trust them all,

Will we still be free?

I don’t give them nothing—

They’ll use it against me.

And we don’t hear the silence

Of the ones we all hurt.

We don’t see the signs, we’ll never learn.

It’s so sad to see they’re all left behind.

Minority isn’t that strong,

It doesn’t mean they’re wrong.

Liza, she’s from the South,

Used to be full of life.

Then she met her girlfriend, yes,

She’s happy with her wife.

But now she knows they can’t accept—

They don’t think lightly of

The way they both live their lives,

So she’s got it rough.

And we don’t hear the silence

Of the ones we all hurt.

We don’t see the signs, we’ll never learn.

It’s so sad to see they’re all left behind.

Minority isn’t that strong,

It doesn’t mean they’re wrong.
