A Social Marginal Lyrics

Remember me when I met you back in Chicago? 
Filthy bum (twenty plus some) with an old platitude 
"Mending fences or mending souls" 
That was all you had to say 
But fate was fair my friend 
Now it`s your turn to walk in my place 

Tell me how`s the view from down there- 
come on don`t you like it? 
Suddenly you are no one and you feel like a freak 
Down and out you just might find out who you 
really are 
Sorry I can`t join you right now 
I`d love to stay but can`t be late for my happy hour 
Now don`t get caught up in your paranoia 
just accept that we both - 
lose if there`s a confrontation 
Well I think we`ve got to find 
some good excuse with a prospect of detente 

But standing my ground 
I have drawn the line 
past which there can be no more compromise 

Somebody help me find a way out of it 
I`m quite sure there must be 
more than meets the eye 
A matter of what`s inside 
Pretending my soul can hide from the outside 
When everyone can see we`re hiding tragedy 

Social Marginal- 
Setting the stage for our power struggle 
Social Marginal- 
Engaging you in a test of wills 
Social Marginal- 
No diversions please 
It`s time to wear your gameface 
It`s time to wear it now.....just put it on. 

Now don`t get caught up in your paranoia 
just accept that we both 
lose if there`s a confrontation 
And it`s all we`ve got to find 
a crucible can`t we compromise? 
Now. 

Somebody help me find a way out of it 
I`m quite sure there must be 
more than meets the eye 
A matter of what`s inside 
Pretending my soul can hide from the outside 
When everyone can see we`re hiding tragedy 
Now. 

Social Marginal- 
setting the stage for our power struggle 
Social Marginal- 
Engaging you in a test of wills 
Social Marginal- 
No diversions please 
It`s time to wear your gameface 
It`s time to wear it now - right now. 

Mending fences, mending souls? 
Read between the lines and you`ll know 
Now. 
Now it`s your turn to accept me- 
Now. 

....But caught up in your own self-righteousness 
All you can do is say - "you first".
