sure is but after all we are all the same:cry:

I have to agree with you.  I always heard because we are outlaws Yeah, but your lyrics are better.  I always thought that that one line was kind of cringeworthy in an otherwise close to perfect song.  DAmn, we agreed

Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks it's kind of lame.

Omg how dare you insult that line! It's tongue in cheek :P 

And you can always listen to Road to Acceptance for "we're all the same"

I thought Holiday was just cause because we are all the same (which I prefer to be honest)

I always heard that, too, and I still tend to sing it at the live shows because I kind of got used to it :lol:

I like 'we're all the same' simply because it would be easier to enunciate - I didn't realize that he was singing 'outlaws' for a good while after first hearing the song.

Outlaws makes more sense though to be fair. He is specifically talking about how setting fires etc is not meant for him, therefore...we are not all the same. :lol: 

Another lyric I realized I'd always misheard is "I can see through you cause you're wearing thin" in Haha You're Dead....I always heard "I can still do you" (meaning I can still kick your ass, not the other thing, lmao)

The Outlaws line is wicked!! I was so happy years back when I read the lyrics and figured out that's what he was saying there. Before I also used to hear "this is a lies on Holidaaaaaaayyyy!!!" which obviously wouldn't make sense. Lives on holiday is a good line.

Yes! The way it's written in the lyric book is so epic too :D

Okay, just discovered I've been signing She wrong for 23 years.  I thought "Are you feeling like a social tool without a use" was "are you feeling like a sex show doll without a use".

Mind blown.

LOL. Did you really think that was the lyric? :lol:

Yup!  I used to go back and forth between trying to figure out if he was saying doll or toy, but never once did I question the sex show part of it.

The first time I heard Saint Jimmy, I thought Billie said the N-Word instead of Edgar, as in Edgar Allen Poe :lol: As soon as I thought he said that I was like "No way he said that, I must've miss heard it." Turned out I did and I'm relieved so.

I've never really looked through this thread before, it's my new favorite :lol:

For way too many years I was singing, "welcome to a new kind of tension, all across the idiot nation" - only recently realized it's "alien nation" and I'm so ashamed.

Just realised I've been singing Welcome to Paradise wrong all these years.... instead of 'pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes' I've been singing 'pay attention to the backstreets and the broken hoes'  lmao :mellow:

I still hear it a sexual tool without a use even though I know it's social...the mind hears what it wants

In Basket Case I still hear "Am I just paranoid how much I suck" I actually prefer to hear it that way as I find it to be more relatable. :lol:

With Going To Pasalacqua, I hear "I beat the nasty weather", even though I know it's "I'm in for nasty weather"

Sometimes I'm convinced that Billie sings that on purpose live, because I hear it as well. Even though i've trained my brain to say social.

I have to admit that there are still songs I don't understand the lyrics too. Even though I've listened to them hundreds of times and even looked up the lyrics. But when I listen without the lyrics in front of me I still can't make sense of it or remember what they are supposed to be. 

I gave up trying a long long time ago.

Strangeland. Like wtf Billie, get that mic out of your mouth.

When trying to look up the lyrics I get different versions every single time.
