You Don’t Belong

Hey you, is there something worth aspiring to?
And can it be found in a record store?
Well, it's not there anymore
Just think of all the things we did
We were different, just like all the other kids

Missy was a teen blue video star
Tom took his life in his mothers car
Milo went to college, but you knew about that
Rodney played our records
Jimmy started riots
Laurie was always quiet
She was battling depression

Hey you, is there something worth belonging to?
And can I pick it up for a song
Or a diploma, or a worthy cause?
Well, let me tell you that there's nothing wrong
It's just that ones like us will never belong

Jack wore a skirt, but he knew how to scrap
Billy went to county on a class-one possession
Wendy went to school while her daddy shot smack
Eugene kept a list, Mugger was security
Mary, she kept her purity
We were all in it together

Yellowed postcards on the wall
Serve to cover up the blankness after all
So I will carry them along, like a song, when I'm gone, yeah

Hey you, is there something worth belonging to?
You know, we've been here all along
Like a confederacy of the wrong
And I confess it could be prejudice
But to you, I dedicate this song
Yeah, you!
