Strays


This song is for the outcasts This song is for the ones who are always turned away This song is for the misfits This song is for the strays The ones who were born with bad luck from the start This is for the shunned and mistreated This is for the ones who have to cry in the dark This song is for the ones who hide their pain and broken hearts Knowing that they are the ones who always seem to cause a problem everywhere they go Because they look different or talk different They already know (Bridge) That the signs are excluding them from society The right to refuse service to anyone That means you and me No matter what we have done I never fit in and never will I'm a stray, I'm a misfit And years later I'm a outcast still Never wanted to be It's just a curse that dwells in me (Chorus) We are strays The ones society can not stand Always the target for society's bull shit We are the strays of the Earth The misfits The outcasts Ever since birth Marked by bad luck We are strays Being turned away God bless these strays Our judgement day is every day Because they judge us all the time Punished for being different I guess being myself is a damn crime I try to do my best to keep out of trouble as much as I can But it seems to me like trouble and myself go hand in hand Sorry for being the way I am But I can't help the way I was born But all the sorries in the world won't stop the bull Shit from happening When life is nothing but a full on shit storm (Repeat Bridge) (Repeat Chorus) I was always the black sheep of the family The one who always did things wrong I use to wonder why I was cursed since birth Now I guess I should've known all along That I was born a misfit I was born an outcast And for me, I know nothing good ever lasts Strays, we learn fast That when you're a stray life can be tough People shooing you away and saying that you're never good enough Everything you done You failed as you tried Then get punished for messing up again Then get punished if you cry Crying is not allowed for you and me This song is for the ones who no one should see Crying at all cause all it will get is being hit and grounded again You wanna be free But you can not win (Repeat Bridge) (Repeat Chorus) (Coda).
