Well I live with snakes and lizards And other things that go bump in the night 'Cos to me everyday is Halloween I've given up hiding and started to fight I have started to fight Well any time, 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 'Cos Halloween is everyday hey, it's everyday, 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 hide it? Why fight it? Hurt feelings, best to stop feeling From denials, 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 Oh, 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
