bother to tab the accordion.

Lyrics

I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority              (Chorus)
Down with the moral majority
Cuz I wanna be the minority

I pledge allegiance
To the underworld
One nation underdog
There of which I stand alone             (Verse 1)
A face in the crowd
Unsung against the mold
Without a doubt, singled out
The only way I know

(Chorus)

Stepped out of the line
Like a sheep run from the herd
Marching out of time                     (Bridge)
To my own beat now...
The only way I know

One light, one mind
Flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence
Of a thousand broken hearts              (Verse 2)
"For crying out loud"
She screamed unto me
A free for all, fuck 'em all
You are your own sight

(Chorus)
(Bridge, no lyrics)
(Verse 2)
(Chorus)

I wanna be the minority   (x4)
