	Another future blues. Look forward to about next Thursday. This guy's the last flesh and blood man among a world full of robots, androids and automatons. He's not sure he WANTS to fit in.

	Story Behind the Song Ever since watching kids running wild eyed to a fight in the schoolyard as I was walking away from it, I've felt I was a bit different. Same feeling when I'm caught in a traffic jam and find out it was just a bunch of losers who need to get a life gawking at a fender bender in the lanes going the other way. But everyone fits in somewhere, and there's hope for that in this song too! Don't take the lyrics about George Washington's cash crop as an endorsement (or condemnation) of alternate uses for hemp products. Just pointing out that a person might do more than one thing, and maybe even do it well. My first wife wanted desperately to fit in, and disliked this song. It might've taken more than one day to write all the verses, I don't remember. But once again, recorded in 1992 or so in one or two takes. Lyrics I was born to be a misfit been a misfit all my life I was born to be a misfit been a misfit all my life when you're born to be a misfit boy, you're bound to see a little trouble and strife If the shoe fits, wear it that's what they say amd of the other shoe fits, wear it too that's what I say well these ol' shoes don't seem to fit at all but I seem to got 'em on anyway! Grandma thinks I'm lazy My pa says I'm a snob Grandma thinks I'm lazy and my pa sys I'm a snob (thinks I'm snubbin' work or somethin') I think I know what the problem is those two, they just don't understand my job 'Cause I was born to be a misfit I been a misfit every day (cheer up son, you can always serve as a bad example) I was born to be a misfit I been a misfit every day but you can watch out for the night time just might go some other way Albert Einstein played the fiddle and George Washington grew pot (little cash crop in the back yard) Albert Einstein played the fiddle and George Washington grew pot (they called it rope, back in them days) You tell me what you think I am I can sure tell you what I'm not Well I ain't no blues singer but I just might sing a little blues Yeah I ain't no blues singer but I just might sing a little blues but it's only by request my friends these ain't the kinda times I'd choose Yeah, you got a notion about what's goin' on I got a notion I might just take off these shoes!
