February War Lyrics
Standing on the curb wasting my life
Waiting for a bus
36 was late, the 13 was full I think
I've had enough
Standing in the grime that seat was mine
I said what the fuck
Pray to the gods they show me pity
And beam me up
But now I'm stuck
So I read my book and wish for better, better luck
Who are these people
What are these customs
What is this language
I don't understand
I feel the battle rage
I feel the steel in(on) my hands
I feel the wind in my face
I am not of this
Thank you god
For making me an Alien
Thank you god
For making me all right
Finally got myself a seat
By the homeless guy
Who's been smoking crack
He said his name was Phil
And this was the bus he's going to hijack
I had to ask, "Would it be too much
To drive me home?"
He said, "Where to?"
I didn't know
Because I've never, never known
Who are these people
I don't understand
Waiting for a bus
36 was late, the 13 was full I think
I've had enough
Standing in the grime that seat was mine
I said what the fuck
Pray to the gods they show me pity
And beam me up
But now I'm stuck
So I read my book and wish for better, better luck
What are these customs
What is this language
I don't understand
I feel the steel in(on) my hands
I feel the wind in my face
I am not of this
For making me an Alien
Thank you god
For making me all right
By the homeless guy
Who's been smoking crack
He said his name was Phil
And this was the bus he's going to hijack
I had to ask, "Would it be too much
To drive me home?"
He said, "Where to?"
I didn't know
Because I've never, never known
I don't understand

This is easy, the singer feels his life is more fortunate/better than the common vagrants he runs into along the streets and he's thankful for it. It's a fucking awesome song and one of my favorites by them
The lyrics are definitely, "Thank you God for making me an idiot", not "Thank you God for making me an alien".
I copied this straight from the CD booklet, and it said alien. I know CD book lyrics can be wrong on occasion (hell, this CD booklet has some very dodgy punctuation, spelling, etc.), but I hear alien regardless. :)
