Me and all my ugly friends
Dressed for a nuclear winter
We hopped the barbed wire fence
And played in the reactor

We burned our shadows on the wall
And played baseball with atoms
God showed us his tentacles
We never knew he had ‘em

The boys in blue were strollin’ by
Their eyes burned us like lasers
Our bodies fell like broken kites
When they triggered the tasers

Long nights spent in juvy hall
Will break a mutant’s spirit
We tried to tell the guards a joke
They didn’t want to hear it

All the pretty kids at school
Had seen us on the news
Mondays are a hell of a day
For dishin’ out the blues

The teachers took their time with us
They made sure not to spoil it
They ripped the wings right off our backs
And flushed them town the toilet

They shoved their logic down our throats
They knew we couldn’t chew it
Spitting up my right to vote
We were cured before we knew it
