Misfit Kid Lyrics

I dream frequently, sometimes they come out funny
I go through insanity, all they want is money
All these parties, they get so ritual
The same sea of faces
Always pushing, always pulling
Always in the races

I get cooled out
I get the come ons
I get rumbled
I get crumbled

CHORUS
I'm the American misfit kid
Still wondering what I did

I'm stiletto so, so sharp and I'm willing to cut
Sometimes nebulous, I'm ready to strut
Lost and frantic, new age romantic
I'm checking out the race
Never cared about what it meant
Always loved disgrace

I get rhythm
I get Cornflakes
I get fast love
I get wasted

CHORUS
I'm on the inside, taking a fast ride

I dream frequently, sometimes they come out funny
I live with absurdity, it's always warm and runny
All these parties get so ritual
Lonely hearts and aces
Always pushing, always pulling, always in the races

CHORUS
I get cooled out
I get the come-ons
i get wasted
I get the corn flakes

that's right...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This became my favorite song from Panorama, with "Gimme Some Slack" close behind. Cliques, Glitterati, and Group Dynamics of the popular. Misfits of the World, unite.
