I  was never cool in school, I’m sure You don’t  remember me . . .
 And now  it’s been ten years, I’m still  wonderin’ who to be . . .
 And I’d love  to mix in circles,  cliques and social  coter-ies–  that’s me!
 (hand me my nose ring) Can  we  be  ha  - ppy
 (show me the mosh pit) Can we be ha  - ppy
We can be hap  - py un  – der  – ground

Who's  got the looks?  Who's got the brains?  Who's got everything?
I've  got this pain  in my heart, that's  all
Hey  you, with the long  and lonely face  Well there's gotta  be something  else
Let  me tell you
Something  else, There  was a girl  that passed me by,
 She gave a smile  but I was shy,  I looked down, so down
Don't  look there no no,  go go underground,  And now  there's a place  to  go
It's  the morning now, It's  the evening, It's everything,
I  click my heels  . . . and I'm there

You’ve  been kicked a – round,  Did life bring You down  here
