the whole song goes on power chords of 
E5 C5 B5
intro  E5  
E5Have ever you felt left out of the C5group, B5excluded?
Given the boot
E5when you knew you should have C5been a shooB5-in?
E5Like some ancient Druid
was puC5rsuant to B5ruin your life
with a curse but worse
he brought his whole damn crew in.
and now it's high
and you're a target to shoot at.
this school's a battlefield
no wonder you're truant!
They alway look at you and 
they boo at what youre doing
and you go off like a bomb
at the Olympics in Munich.
Nah, you're just an extraterrestrial,
less than respectable
You'll never get to get the girl.
You're just a jester at the festival.
I guess it's acceptable,
to peg your head with vegetables
and kick you in the testicles.
And best of all let you know
that you're a filthy dog
and you'll never be best in show.
chorus
So why the abuse?
'Cause all a bully needs is a fucking excuse.
Planet Earth I need a friend
'cause Im on the outside looking in.
I'm an Alien.
I'm just an Alien.
Feeling lost but never found,
'til I found myself being pushed around.
I'm an Alien.
Yes, I'm an Alien.
I'mma be honest, it gets better I promise.
So don't let them ground you down
to a pound of sawdust.
Stay on the stage the longest 'til the gong hits
and everybody comments on their fondness
of your polish and your overall knowledge.
Remain calmest and abolish your modesty,
'cause honestly you got to be positive.
You're a prodigy!
You show the world
that you're not one to mess with.
It's a broken home
that makes these bastards aggressive.
You can expect to get rejected.
Neglected, stripped, naked and
tested 'til they reckon.
You feel terrible because nothing is comparable.
Violence ain't the answer
but the pain is unbearable
You're nice and jaded from being isolated
now you coast through life feeling twice as hated.
So why the abuse
Cause all a bully needs is a fucking excuse
Planet Earth I need a friend
cause Im on the outside looking in.
I'm an Alien
I'm just an Alien
Feeling lost but never found
'til I found myself being pushed around.
I'm an Alien
Yes, I'm an Alien
Well, Planet Earth I need a friend
cause Im on the outside looking in
I'm an Alien
I'm just an Alien
Feeling lost but never found
'til I found myself being pushed around
I'm an Alien
Yes, I'm an Alien
No Oh
Im an Alien
Yes, Im an Alien
nice song :)

and you go off like a bomb

at the Olympics in Munich.

Nah, you're just an extraterrestrial,

less than respectable

You'll never get to get the girl.

You're just a jester at the festival.

I guess it's acceptable,

to peg your head with vegetables

and kick you in the testicles.

And best of all let you know

that you're a filthy dog

and you'll never be best in show.
