Here's another candidate for Aspie Anthem:
Out of Focus by Blue Cheer.
This video shows the song's author Dickie Peterson somewhat far removed from his prime, which was when this song was written, back in the late 1960's.
Still rocks though, and the lyrics sound like Asperger's to me....

A cold, cold darkness. And past confusion.
Is quickly calling Yeah, all of my illusions.
Now won't somebody Tell me what's wrong
Tell me what's wrong with me.
From within The magic madness
I could feel deep in my heart A little bit of gladness
Now won't somebody Tell me what's wrong
Tell me what's wrong with me.
Won't somebody Tell me what's wrong
I been searchin' Searchin' so long
Oh, won't somebody Oh, won't somebody
Tell me what's wrong with me.
Won't somebody Tell me what's wrong
I been searchin' Whoa so goddamn long
Oh, won't somebody Oh, won't somebody
Tell me what's wrong with me.
And then from out Of a mystic dream
There came an angel She spread her wings.
Now don't nobody Tell me what's wrong
Tell me what's wrong with me.

Not so much an anthem as a response/controlled meltdown, from a woman who's quite obviously an Aspie herself....

'Sari' by Nellie McKay

Quote:

This is my private life
I have no friends to fear
I've got no problems no cross to bear
If you can find me
Come and get me out of here

This is my private life
This is my private life
This is my private life

These are my private things
There they are against the wall
The dirty pictures, religious objects
These are my private things
Come and get them out of here

This is my private bed
This is where I lie at night
Staring at a light bulb hanging on the ceiling
Waiting for a dream to
Come and get me out of here

Here in my humble room at night
I often wonder what goes on out there
What makes them runs o scared
I often stare at the people passing by
But they can't see me through my window shades
Just like I'm not even there

This is my private life
This is my private life
This is my private life
There's something dangerous I like

This is my private life
I know my problems aren't your fault
What I really want to know
Has it always been this way

This is my private life
This is my private life
This is my private life
Come and get me out of here

I found the bones of all your ghosts
Locked in the wishing well
While birdsong gourmets dragged empty nets
I slumbered in my shell

In mitternacht, die mensch-maschine
Kissed me on my eyes
I rose and left the fire-ladies
Glowing lonely in the night
With all the pornographers
Burning torches beneath the sea

Chorus:

I want to be a machine
I want to be a machine
I want to be a machine
I want to be a machine

I stole a cathode face from newscasts
And a crumbling fugue of songs
From the reservoir of video souls
In the lakes beneath my tongue
In flesh of ash and silent movies
I walked at boulevards again
A nebula of unfinished creatures
From the lifetimes of my friends
I hope your innocence has depraved me

(Chorus)

Broadcast me, scrambled clean
Or free me from this flesh
Let the armchair cannibals take their fill
In every cell across wilderness
We'll trip such a strangled tango
We'll waltz a wonderland affair
Let's run to meet the tide tomorrow
Leave all emotion dying there
In the star cold beyond all of your dreams

(Chorus)

Ah!

My sex
Waits for me
Like a mongrel waits
Downwind on a tight rope leash

My sex
Is a fragile acrobat
Sometimes I'm a novocaine shot
Sometimes I'm an automat

My sex
Is often solo
Sometimes it short circuits then
Sometimes it's a golden glow

My sex
Is invested in
Suburban photographs
Skyscraper shadows on a carcrash overpass

My sex
Is savage, tender
It wears no future faces
Owns just random gender

My sex
Has a wanting wardrobe
I still explore
Of all the bodies I knew and those I want to know

My sex
Is a spark of electro flesh
Leased from the tick of time
And geared for synchromesh

My sex
Is an image lost in faded films
A neon outline
On a high-rise overspill

My sex
