Lyrics and translation

Original

I am an alien
My rocket ship is human bone and skin
I'm something smaller staring out the skull
With a panel of wire and
Buttons I don't understand
Spamming every one of them
So, does being human mean pretending to know
What's going on?!
(Hello?)
What's going on?!
(Hellooo? Fine!)
Take me to your leader
I would like to have a couple words
Get your shit together
How do humans keep on getting worse?
I'd go back to space but they've invaded out there too
We're doomed
(Will anyone tell me what's going on? No? I'm gonna scream!)
(AHHHHHH! Tell me!)
You mock the way I talk
And I might be a little bit behind
Trends and slang and other ways to fit the box
To not be not liked
Once it gets underneath my skin
It's hard to let anyone in
Again my walls go up
I'm on defense, my solitude is
Safer than having friends
Why do I feel alien?!
I am an alien
My rocket ship is human bone and skin
I'm something smaller staring out the skull
Through two big eye sockets
And I just don't understand
How to become one of them
Does being human mean
Pretending to be something you're not?
What's going on?!
Take me to your leader
I would like to have a couple words
Get your shit together
How do humans keep on getting worse?
I'd go back to space but they've invaded out there too
We're doomed!
I don't wanna be here
Don't want a body or brain or thoughts of my own
I don't know who's there in the mirror
Wanna go home
Where is home though?
I don't wanna be her
Dissociate through another day
I don't know who that is standing in the mirror
Everywhere I look I'm alone
I am an alien
My rocket ship is human skin and bone
I'm over trying to fit in
Guess I'll always be alone
'Cause I just don't understand
How to become one of them
How do I be one of
How do I be one of you?
How do I be one of
How do I be one of you?
(Is anyone out there? Over.)
(Anyone!? Over.)
(I'm talking to myself, aren't I? AHAHAH. Over!)
How do I be one of
How do I be one of you?
