Lyrics

[Chorus]
I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I wanna be the minority
[Verse 1]
I pledge allegiance to the underworld
One nation under dog, there of which, I stand alone
A face in the crowd, unsung, against the mold
Without a doubt, singled out, the only way I know
[Chorus]
'Cause I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I wanna be the minority
[Bridge]
Stepped out of the line
Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marching out of time
To my own beat now
The only way I know
[Verse 2]
One light, one mind flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
"For crying out loud," she screamed unto me
A free for all, fuck 'em all
"You are your own sight"
[Chorus]
'Cause I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I wanna be the minority, hey
[Verse 3]
One light, one mind flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
"For crying out loud," she screamed unto me
A free for all, fuck 'em all
"You are your own sight"
[Chorus]
'Cause I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I wanna be the minority
[Chorus]
(I wanna be) The minority
(I wanna be) The minority
(I wanna be) The minority
(I wanna be) The minority
