Ex-Con Lyrics

Cover art for Ex-Con lyrics by Smog

Great song. It's about not fitting in, but not necessarily being an outcast. The narrator does things that everybody else he knows does - very simple things that people take for granted like going to the grocery store or getting dressed up. But when the narrator does it he feels like he stands out, like he's doing something different or looks different than everyone else. He wants to be 'normal' per se, and do 'normal' things, but he feels so inexplicably out of place. Great song.
