[Verse 1]
Living in the belly of the beast
I was polishing the gears for the machine
This picket fenced hypocrisy
Has thrown a box on me
Yeah, it was pitch black, now I finally see

[Verse 2]
Don't have the same dreams as my neighbors
When the grass is dead, it's not always greener
Don't drink the things they're selling me
Think the things they're telling me
When there are flaws in the facts and figures

[Chorus]
Oh
Black sheep in the world of gray
Smile and wave with the loner parade
I have no pride, I can't be shamed
All hands raise to the renegade
I have no pride, I can't be shamed
All hands raise to the renegade

[Verse 3]
Hear the message left in the static
Of suburban nights or black magic
Everyone is wired wrong, to find what's right or wrong
And I just can't stop understanding
[Chorus]
Oh
Black sheep in the world of gray
Smile and wave with the loner parade
I have no pride, I can't be shamed
All hands raise to the renegade
I have no pride, I can't be shamed
All hands raise to the renegade

[Bridge]
Backseat driver, crash survivor
Tell her to go away
Renegade, renegade
Backseat driver, crash survivor
Tell her to go away
Renegade

[Chorus]
Oh
Black sheep in the world of gray
Smile and wave with the loner parade
I have no pride, I can't be shamed
All hands raise to the renegade (Renegade, renegade)
I have no pride, I can't be shamed
All hands raise to the renegade
