Huerfano Lyrics
They left you upside down inside a hanging sleeping bag
They broke my glasses playing keep-away
It's the reason that we feared each school day
When they stuffed you in that box and sat upon the lid,
When they told us we were only stuttering and stupid
Now fly - you orphans,
Here you belong.
Welcome you wayward souls,
Now lift your song.
They laughed at you because you had punk rock hair,
Cowboy hats - just aching for a chicken fight.
They punched your stomach just to feed their egos
Called you "faggot" just to drown your sunlight
One time I held my voice - they told me never sing
They only pin the angels to the earth to break their wings
They pushed you down on frozen ground,
The bullies gathered all around.
They had no right to steal your song
But you're still here - and they are gone
So sing on
They broke my glasses playing keep-away
It's the reason that we feared each school day
When they told us we were only stuttering and stupid
Here you belong.
Welcome you wayward souls,
Now lift your song.
Cowboy hats - just aching for a chicken fight.
They punched your stomach just to feed their egos
Called you "faggot" just to drown your sunlight
They only pin the angels to the earth to break their wings
The bullies gathered all around.
They had no right to steal your song
But you're still here - and they are gone
So sing on

Suckerpunch, You Can't Handle This, and now Huerfano...the 5Fe anthems for the left-out, the picked-on, the "losers". As someone who grew up as a geek, these songs have always had an extra special place in my heart. I hope this one reaches a new generation, letting them discover one of the greatest bands in existence.
It gets better.
