[Verse 1]
Well, Sarah's only 10
But she's attracted to older men
And they seem to like her back cause she's intelligent
And Billy's a football star
And he drives around in his muscle car
But he really really wants to be a ballerina

[Pre-Chorus]
And he wonders who am I?
Who am I?
And he wants to be a man
But he doesn't understand yet
It's alright to be what he wants

[Chorus]
I'm calling all superstar wonderful weirdos
Can you hear me call tonight?
I know you're alone in your world, full of fear though
But the more you run, the harder it is to hide
Ooh, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
Well, Johnny studies rockets
With his plastic protected pockets
So his pens don't leak out upon the floor
Where Jenny's rolling
And she's scared of growing
Cause she feels 5 feet taller than the girl next door

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And she wonders who am I?
What the hell am I?
And she's got a lot to offer
But she doesn't look like Cindy Crawford
And it makes her cry

[Chorus]
I'm calling all superstar wonderful weirdos
Can you hear me call tonight?
I know you're alone in your world, full of fear though
But the more you run, the harder it is to hide

[Bridge]
It's a total rejection of the system
It's the honest opinion for the very first time
It's a different perception of living
And it's time that we opened our minds

[Chorus]
I'm calling all superstar wonderful weirdos
You're not alone tonight
No you're not alone in your world, full of fear though
But the more you run, the harder it is to hide

[Outro]
Can you hear me?

Alanis Morissette

Alanis Nadine Morissette was born on June 1, 1974, in Ottawa, Canada. At age 6, she began taking piano lessons, and by the time she was 9, she was writing her own songs.

When she was 11, Morissette joined the cast of a Nickelodeon children’s show called You Can’t Do That on Television, and saved up her earnings. In 1987, she used them to self-release her first track, “Fate Stay With Me.” The song caught the attention of record label MCA Canada; at age 14, Morissette signed a contract with the company. She released a self-titled album, Alanis, in 1991, which went platinum. Quickly following up the success of her first album, Morissette released Now Is The Time a year later, though it did not reach the same level of popularity.

In 1994 Morissette moved to Los Angeles teamed up with industry veteran Glen Ballard, and she began to approach songwriting more organically.
