Adrian Belew

Ever since I was a kid, I never did fit in
While all the other fish were learning how to swim
I was dying to be a member of the tribe
And when I went to school, my head was in the clouds
My teachers said, "You will never be allowed, so dont try to be a member of the tribe"
Now what can a square man do to fit in a big round world?
If I am a hand and life is a glove, I stick right out like a big sore thumb
Why dont you come over to see me some time?
I do impersonations from Saturday Night Live
Im dying to be a member of the tribe, but I guess Im not
Now what can a square man do to fit in a big round world?
Life might be a parade for some, but I stick out like a big brass thumb
I eat Big Macs and I watch MTV, Ive been a K-Mart shopper since 1983
Cause Im tryin to be a member of the tribe
Im tryin to be a member of the tribe
Im tryin to be a member of the tribe
Im tryin to be a member of the tribe
