[Verse 1] You alphabetize your cereal I name the spoons and give them jobs You wear your lucky jacket backward I practice speeches to my socks Your laugh arrives a beat too early My elbows have their own parade We bring our odd little inventions And make a better mess that way [Pre-Chorus] Quit trimming every crooked edge To fit somebody else's frame The parts you hide behind your teeth Are calling out your name [Chorus] Get weird, get loud, take up the room Bring your mismatched shoes and your homemade tune If your mind takes turns no map can chart Good—let it drive, let it tear up the start Get weird, get proud, let the whole thing show Your strange is the spark that the rest of us know No copy, no mold, no need to explain We’re wonderfully odd—and we’re staying that way! [Verse 2] You keep a pebble from a bus stop I give my houseplants middle names You fold your napkin into creatures I make up rules for made-up games The room gets brighter when you stop Apologizing for your shape So bring the facts that sound unlikely And all the plans you’ll rearrange [Pre-Chorus] Quit sanding down your favorite corners Quit asking who said you could The things that make you hard to label Might be what makes you good [Chorus] Get weird, get loud, take up the room Bring your mismatched shoes and your homemade tune If your mind takes turns no map can chart Good—let it drive, let it tear up the start Get weird, get proud, let the whole thing show Your strange is the spark that the rest of us know No copy, no mold, no need to explain We’re wonderfully odd—and we’re staying that way! [Bridge] You can keep your tiny rituals Your brilliant, baffling point of view I’ll save a seat beside the loud ones There’s room for me, and room for you [Breakdown] Too odd? (Too odd!) Too much? (Too much!) That’s our kind of just enough! [Final Chorus] Get weird, get loud, take up the room Bring your mismatched shoes and your homemade tune If your mind takes turns no map can chart Good—let it drive, let it tear up the start Get weird, get proud, let the whole thing show Your strange is the spark that the rest of us know No copy, no mold, no need to explain We’re wonderfully odd—and we’re staying that way! [Outro] No copy, no mold— We’re staying that way!
