Aerosmith
Sing For The Moment X Alien
[Verse 1 Puff]
Have you ever felt left out of the group, excluded?
Given the boot when you knew you should have been a shoe-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 extraterrestrial
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 a fucking excuse
[Chorus Aerosmith]
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
[Verse 2 Puff]
I’ma 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’re 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 until 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 a fucking excuse
[Chorus Aerosmith]
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
[Bridge Puff and Aerosmith]
Run!
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
[Outro Benatar]
Yes, I'm an alien
Oh-oh
