lyrics

When the sun goes down
And the moon comes out
It's time for us to rage
We're the weird
And the queer
And the rejected
But we're never gonna change

Don't need society
To tell us how to be
Don't need no government
To tell us that we're free

We're the seedy underbelly
From the other side
And that's where we will stay
We're the down and the out
And the rejected
But we're used to it that way

Don't need no religion
To tell us how to live
Our way it will remain
Ain't got no shit to give

We're the poor and the bored
And the proudly abhorred
That never will be tamed
We're the rats in the sewer
And the flies in manure
That'll never go away

Don't need society
To tell us how to be
Don't need no government
To tell us that we're free

We're the sick and the twisted
And the double fisted
We're mentally deranged
We're the outsiders of establishment
And we're never gonna change
