Freak Like Me
Halestorm · The Strange Case Of... [2012]
Makin' the most of the ride before we get arrested
We're all wasted
And we're not Going Home Tonight
Covered in black, we're like a social disgrace
Just like an animal, we crawl out of our cages
The can't tame us
So if you're one of us, get on the bus
If you're a freak like me
Wave your flag
If you're a freak like me
Get off your ass
It's our time now
To let it all hang out
So, shout if you're a freak like me
You were born to rise
This is no disease
You don't need a cure
It's our time now
To come out
If you're a freak like me
If you're a freak like me
We're underground, but we will not surrender
We're gonna give 'em something to remember, yeah
So write your name in gasoline
And set that shit on fire
If you're a freak like me
Wave your flag
If you're a freak like me
Get off your ass
It's our time now
To let it all hang out
So, shout if you're a freak like me
Don't apologize
They can hold you down
You were born to rise
'Cause it's our time now
To come out
If you're a freak like me
If you're a freak like me
Are you a freak like me?
Are you a freak, like, me?
If you're a freak like me
Wave your flag
If you're a freak like me
Get off your ass
It's our time now
To let it all hang out
So, shout if you're a freak like me
Don't apologize
They can hold you down
You were born to rise
'Cause it's our time now
To come out
If you're a freak like me
If you're a freak!
If you're a freak (like me)
If you're a freak!
If you're a freak like me
(If you're a freak)
If you're a freak like me!
