I Hope That We Never Fit In

I’m tired of scraping by, 

I don’t believe in what you’re trying to say.

I’m tired of feeling like when you get a piece, 

There’s a hand held over yours.

I think I’ll get the first train that comes

On the platform where I’m waiting.

Or the first car I see, try and hail it down.

I don’t know the name of the place,

I don’t know anyone there. 

But it’s just got to be better than this town.

And I hope that we never fit in,

We’ll keep them all guessing when we walk past.

And if they ask what the hell we’re doing,

We’ll look them in the eye and we’ll be strong.

Cos I hope that we never belong,

Spend all our lives on the outside.

And if they say that they’re dissatisfied,

We’ll just look them in the eye, babe, and roll by.

You’re always telling me that you

Don’t want to be a part of all of this.

So grab your things, go run upstairs,

Knock on the door and give your Mum a kiss.

And we’ll get the first train that comes

On the platform where we’re waiting.

Or the first car we see, try and hail it down.

We don’t know the name of the place,

We don’t know anyone there. 

But it’s just got to be better than this town.

And I hope that we never fit in,

We’ll keep them all guessing when we walk past.

And if they ask what the hell we’re doing,

We’ll look them in the eye and we’ll be strong.

Cos I hope that we never belong,

Spend all our lives on the outside.

And if they say that they’re dissatisfied,

We’ll just look them in the eye, babe, and roll by.

Just look them in the eye, babe, and roll by.
