Planet Earth I need a friend ‘Cause I’m on the outside looking in I’m an Alien I’m just an Alien Feeling lost but never found ‘Til I found myself being pushed around I’m an Alien Yes, I’m an Alien
Have you ever felt left out of the group, excluded Given the boot when you knew you should have been a shoo-in Like some ancient Druid was pursuant to ruin your life With a curse but worse, he brought his whole damn crew in And now it’s high noon and you’re a target to shoot at This school’s a battlefield, no wonder you’re truant They always look at you and they boo at what you’re doing And you go off like a bomb at the Olympics in Munich
Nah, you’re just an extraterrestial Less than respectable You’ll never get to get the girl You’re just a jester at the festival I guess it’s acceptable To peg your head with vegetables And kick you in the testicles And best of all let you know that you’re a filthy dog And you’ll never be best in show
So why the abuse? ‘Cause all a bully needs is another excuse!

I’mma be honest, it gets better I promise So don’t let them ground you down to a pound of sawdust Stay on the stage the longest ’til the gong hits And everybody comments on their fondness Of your polish and your overall knowledge Remain calmest and abolish your modesty ‘Cause honestly you got to be positive You’r a prodigy! You show the world that you’re not to mess with It’s a broken home that makes these bastards aggressive You can expect to get rejected Neglected, stripped naked, and tested ’til they reckon You feel terrible because nothing is comparable Violence ain’t the answer but the pain is unbearable You’re nice and jaded from being isolated Now you coast through life feeling twice as hated
So why the abuse? ‘Cause all a bully needs is another excuse!
Well, Planet Earth I need a friend ‘Cause I’m on the outside looking in I’m an Alien I’m just an Alien Feeling lost but never found ‘Til I found myself being pushed around I’m an Alien Yes, I’m an Alien
