Lirik lagu "Minority" sebagai berikut:

I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I want to be the minority
I pledge allegiance to the underworld
One nation under dog there of which I stand alone
A face in the crowd
Unsung, against the mold
Without a doubt singled out the only way I know
'Cause I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I want to be the minority
​​​​​​​
Stepped out of the line
Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marching out of time
To my own beat now the only way I know
​​​​​​​
One light, one mind, flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
For crying out loud she screamed onto me
A free for all, fuck 'em all, you are at your own sight
​​​​​​​
'Cause I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I want to be the minority
​​​​​​​
Hey!
One light, one mind, flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
For crying out loud she screamed onto me
A free for all, fuck 'em all, you are at your own sight
​​​​​​​
'Cause I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I want to be the minority
​​​​​​​​​​​​The minority
The minority
The minority
I want to be the minority!
