Well, I live with snakes and lizards And other things that go bump in the night 'Cause to me every day is Halloween I have given up hiding and started to fight I have started to fight Well anytime, 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, hey It's every day, hey 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 can't I live a life for me? Oh) Why hide it? Why fight it? (No! Why should I?) Hurt feelings, best to stop feeling hurt From denials (oh), reprisals It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide Oh, it's the same, it's the same in the whole wide
