    Lyrics
    I want to be the minority
    I don't need your authority
    Down with the moral majority
    'Cause I want to be the minority

    I pledge allegiance to the underworld
    One nation under dog
    There of which I stand alone
    A face in the crowd
    Unsung, against the mold
    Without a doubt
    Singled out
    The only way I know

    I want to be the minority
    I don't need your authority
    Down with the moral majority
    'Cause I want to be the minority

    Stepped out of the line
    Like a sheep runs from the herd
    Marching out of time
    To my own beat now
    The only way I know

    One light, one mind
    Flashing in the dark
    Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
    "For crying out loud" she screamed unto me
    A free for all
    Fuck 'em all
    You are your own sight

    I want to be the minority
    I don't need your authority
    Down with the moral majority
    'Cause I want to be the minority
