Freakshow

I wasn't born a freak
 I was born who I am
 The circus came later
 When they couldn't understand
 To be born under punchlines
 When all I want is to breathe
 Turned out not quite what they wanted
 Sold off at thirteen
 And what a fucking relief
 I keep my anger in notebooks
 And my passion on the stage
 I sell out night after night after night after night
 And every Sunday a parade
 Come see me in the parade
 Every Sunday a parade
 Wish I could grab 'em all and say
 That now that I'm who I want,
 All anybody seems to want is to stare
 The only monsters in the freak show
 Have paid to get their ass to those chairs
 I'm not a Sunday school lesson,
 Just decided not to live my life scared
 The only monsters in the freak show
 Lurk in the closet under the stairs
 I found some love for the first time
 She's as removed as myself,
 Paired up we swim against the current
 Like a couple of mermaids from hell
 I hear you call me Rob as in Robert,
 That's a mistake no that's not who I am
 The bearded lady's what the barker calls me
 But to you it's YES MA'AM
 YES MA'AM
 YES MA'AM
 I wasn't born a freak
 I was born who I am
 The circus came later
 When they couldn't understand
 Co-couldn't understand
 Co-couldn't
 That now that I'm who I want,
 All anybody seems to want is to stare
 The only monsters in the freak show
 Have paid to get their ass to those chairs
 I'm not a Sunday school lesson,
 Just decided not to live my life scared
 The only monsters in the freak show
 Lurk in the closet under the stairs
 I wasn't born a freak (I was born who I am)
 I was born who I am
 The circus came later
 When no one could understand
 No one could understand
 I wasn't born a freak
 I was born who I am
