about

Entire song lyrics come from 1995 movie called Angus. Movie is about Angus who is a fat high school outcast and his struggle with normality. Most of song lyrics come from a Prom scene where Angus confronts James Van Der Beek caracter (jock bully) of normality and what it means calling his science speech/confrontation/hypothesis "The Bethune Theory"

lyrics

Intro

You want to play some football Angus, you can be the field
You can't go around breaking the quarterback nose, you broke his nose
My cousins pubic hair
Dance with a blowup doll

Welcome to High School Angus good thing you're leavin
I'm still here asshole, you push me down i'll get right back
Up again and again
I can beat you right here right now

But I don't want to be better than you Rick
I don't want to be better than anybody
I want to be who I am
A fat kid who's good at Science and fair at football
Thats who I am

I can live with that so why can't you
It's not normal you're not normal
Who are you, you bet your ass
Who are you, you bet your ass

And so what to be normal we have to be like you
There are 400 people in this room who are nothing like you
Some of them are skinny
Some of them have braces
Some of them have birthmarks or scars or frizzy hair
or ears that stick out, but

Most of them walk through these halls everyday
Never telling anybody the truth about
What they really want need or believe

Because people normal people like you have them terrified
Of being who they really are (who they really are) x 4

I mean if you're normal what does that make them
So what is it Rick are you normal or are you one of us
Whatever I am it's something you're never gonna be
Thank God
Thank God
