Freakshow
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 fucking 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
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 freak show
Have paid to get their ass to 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 of 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
Co-couldn't understand
Co-couldn't
That now that I'm who I want,
All anybody seems to want is to stare
The only monsters in the freak show
Have paid to get their ass to 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)
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
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 fucking 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
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 freak show
Have paid to get their ass to 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 of 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
Co-couldn't understand
Co-couldn't
That now that I'm who I want,
All anybody seems to want is to stare
The only monsters in the freak show
Have paid to get their ass to 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)
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
