original cast of love in hate nation – the other one lyrics
[sheila]
ever since i was a child
i never had a crowd
yeah, i was much too harsh, too wild
too stinkin’ loud
nuns and judges they shed some tears
said ”this delinquent
she just terrifies all her peers”
so i tried to play it straight
but i just played in the mud
’cause since the age of eight
rebellion was just in my blood
they go red in the face
and they pull their hair
’cause i was a basket case
i never really seemed to care
there are two girls in a line
one is doing fine
i’m the other one
one’s in a dress
i’m a muddy mess
i’m the other one
ooh lord, to be the other one
who doesn’t quite fit in
the other one is all i’ve ever been
and that’s how i like it, yeah yeah yeah
[susannah, spoken]
why do you like being the odd man out?
[sheila, spoken]
well, the mystique i cultivate. tell’s people: “don’t mess with her. steer clear.”
[susannah, spoken]
well i – i have that mystique as well. i just don’t, uh, cultivate it
(sung)
whenever i approach
most people just walk away
but the sad part is
i know they’d likely despise me
if they decided to stay
there are two girls in a line
one has got that shine
i’m the other one
blending in is easy for some
i’m the sorest thumb
i’m the other one
oh, i’ve always been the other one
who never quite fits in
the other one is all i’ve ever been
and i don’t like it, nuh-nuh-na-na-na
[sheila, sung]
why would you wanna be the same
as all the people, all the suckers
making homes and planning parties
feeding babies, cleaning dishes
serving coffee, serving every man in sight
a wonder bread and peanut b-tter
feeling dead but clearing clutter
your bed so cold and growing mold
but it was sold to you at abraham and strauss
one of your spouse’s favorite stores
and ’cause it’s his, that means it’s yours
you’re a minion, your opinion is worth less
than an ordinary house cat
why you wanna be that?
like every other person that you know?
[susannah, spoken]
’cause it’s easier?
[sheila, spoken]
is it though?
[susannah, sung]
all i know is when i see a crowd
i have to figure out how to enter
and for once i’d like to feel like
i was just in the center
[sheila, sung]
there are two girls in a john
one is real far gone
i’m the other one
[susannah, sung]
the other one?
[sheila]
the other one
[susannah]
one girls pretend she don’t care
as she fidgets with her hair
i’m the other one
[sheila]
the other one
[both]
who decides who is the other one?
is that all i’ll ever be
even when i have another other one
standing next to me?
and i guess i don’t know how to feel about it
uh huh
no-oh, no-oh
no-oh-o-o-o-oh
