Cracking Up
The Jesus and Mary Chain Lyrics

Some said I was a freak
People used to call me odd

I am a freak
And I am unique, which makes me special in my own way

They said I was weak
They thought I was fragile, but they were wrong

I am a freak
I am a one-of-a-kind individual

They said I was in-com-plete
They believed I was lacking something important

I am a freak
But I'm different, and that makes me whole

Hey, I got the eyes of a man that's being cut
I see the world through the perspective of a person in pain

I got the view of a rat king's son
I have a unique and often misunderstood outlook on life

I guess I'm new and I don't know what to do
I feel lost in this world, like I don't fit in

I'll judge you fine in my mind in my...
But I'll still know my worth, even if others don't understand me

I'm cracking up
I'm losing my grip on reality, struggling with my own mind

Cracking up
Breaking down, falling apart

One said I was a priest
Others have attributed qualities to me that I don't possess

I am a priest
But I choose my own path, and that doesn't fit societal expectations

They said I was least
They considered me to be insignificant

I am a priest
But I know I have value, even if others don't see it

We're cracking up
As a society, we're losing touch with ourselves and each other

Cracking up
Breaking down, falling apart

Cracking up
Struggling to keep it together
