Ever since i was a kid i never did fit in

While all the other fish were learning how to swim

I was dying

To be a member of the tribe



And when i went to school my head was in a cloud

The teacher said, "you will never be allowed,

So don't try

To be a member of the tribe"



Now what can a square man do

To fit in a big round world?

If i am a hand and life is a glove

I stick right out like a big sore thumb



Why don't you come over to see me sometime

I do impersonations from saturday night live

I'm dying

To be a member of the tribe



Now what can a square man do

To fit in a big round world?

Life might be a parade for some,

But i stick out like a big bass drum



I eat big macs and i watch mtv

I've been a k mart shopper since 1983

Cause i'm trying

To be a member of the tribe
