I have given up hiding and started to fight
I have started to fight - well, any time
Any place, anywhere that I go
All the people seem to stop and stare, they say

"Why are you dressed like it's Halloween?
You look so absurd, you look so obscene"
Oh, why can't I live a life for me?
Why should I take the abuse that's served?
Why can't they see they're just like me
It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world

Well, I let their teeny minds think
That they're dealing with someone who is over the brink
And I dress this way just to keep them at bay
'Cause Halloween is every day, it's every day, oh

Why can't I live a life for me?
Why should I take the abuse that's served?
Why can't they see they're just like me
It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world

Oh, why can't I live a life for me?
Why should I take the abuse that's served?
Why can't they see they're just like me?
I'm not the one that's so absurd, why hide it?

Why fight it? Hurt feelings, best to stop feeling
Hurt from denials, reprisals, it's the same
It's the same in the whole wide world
