Lyrics

I'm here to tell my story
Maybe it could be yours too
It's long on real and short on glory
It's short and sweet
I'll be done in a few

Seeking truth in a world of lies
Trying to swim upstream my whole life
Just go with the flow and believe what you're told
That's just a bunch of swampland we've been sold

Chorus:
Like a fish out of water
A black sheep in the flock
A man out of time
A bull in a china shop
I don't fit in
I don't belong
I don't play nice
I don't get along

A man's home is his castle
The wife the queen of the house
The king is now a pauper
And the jester owns it all

(Chorus)

Are you seeking truth in a world of lies?
Have you been trying to swim upstream your whole life?
Do you go with the flow and believe what you're told?
Have you bought that swampland we've all been sold?

Like a fish out of water
A black sheep in the flock
A man out of time
A bull in a china shop
You don't fit in
You don't belong
You don't play nice
You don't get along
