Well, how can I be like any guy?   Why do they have to make me run?   What do they care about   The clothes that I wear?   What do they get from making fun?      Well, we got a lot of space   And if you don't like my face   It ain't me, who's going anywhere      'Cause I don't care   Let them laugh at me, if that's so fair   Well, then I don't have to care   To be free until they laugh at me      And I'll cry for you   And I'll pray for you   And I'll do everything   That the man upstairs said to do      I'll do it all for you, babe   Yes, well, I'll do it all for you   It's got to be sometime   It's got to be somewhere   I'm gonna make that achievement      Then maybe the next time   That you don't wear a silk tie   And I can walk by and say hi   Say hi instead of why      Instead of why, babe   Instead of why   Instead of why, babe      Yeah, instead of why babe   Instead of why babe   Instead of why babe   Instead of why babe      Why do you laugh at me?   Why do you laugh at me?   And you laugh at me   Why do you laugh at me? Yeah      Mott the Hoople   Mott the Hoople   Mott the Hoople   ...
