THEY TOLD MY MOM I WAS NOTHIN BUT TROUBLE
PAID NO ATTENTION IN SCHOOL
GOT LOUSY GRADES ON MY EXAMS
JUST ACTING LIKE A FOOL
THEY TOLD MY POOR MOM
I WAS NOTHIN BUT TROUBLE
I WAS STARIN INTO SPACE FUNNY LOOK ON MY FACE
JUST DREAMIN ABOUT THIS AND THAT
THE TEACHER WOULD ALWAYS POSE THE QUESTION
HEY BARRY WHERE YOU AT
I WAS STARING INTO SPACE
AND COULDN’T ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS
I’M THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE
GONNA PROVE TO ALL THOSE PEOPLE THERE
AT THAT STUPID SCHOOL
THAT I’M THE EXCEPTION TO THAT RULE
I’M THE EXCEPTION TO THAT RULE
I’M DIFFERENT THAN THEM
AND HAVE DIFFERENT TOOLS
YES I’M THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE
I KNEW I WAS DIFFERENT.... WASN’T LIKE ALL THE REST
AND NO ONE BELIEVED IN ME
I WAS DETERMINED TO SHOW EM ALL
I’D BE SOMEBODY THEY WOULD SEE
I KNEW I WAS DIFFERENT
WASN’T LIKE ALL THE REST
I’D CHART MY OWN COURSE WITH A POWERFUL FORCE
AND SET OUT ON MY OWN
I’D TAKE ALL MY TALENT AND BE SOMEBODY
AND I’D DO IT ALL ALONE
I’D CHART MY OWN COURSE
AND SET OFF ON MY OWN
