i remember all the girls in elementary school that would push me around on the playground
because i said i wasn’t sure if i thought god was real
and they thought they were doing the right thing
my mom raised me buddhist and i thought that was cool
but sometimes i’d say i was a satanist to the christian kids at school
because it’d scare them away and i’d stop feeling so attacked
and i’m still not a satanist but i like to think the devil has my back
so when i go to hell i will feel right at home
and take shots with the rock stars that have helped me grow into the person that i am today
and that person that i am could never grow up to be a man
but so what if i’m immature
i’ve still got a spikey jacket and a good sense of humor
i ain't got nothing else if that makes me a loser
then maybe i like being one
i’ve still got my punk rock boots and a brain run by id i ain't got nothing else if that makes me a dumb kid then maybe i like being one
i tried to catch a BART train to freedom but i was too late
so i fall asleep under the comfort of my stereotypic hate
for myself and for the government for all the other angsty punks my age
and you can call me an asshole but i think that i like it that way
but what do i know about life about anything
because all i ever learned in school is i know absolutely nothing
and my dad asked me why i don’t wanna go to a uc
either i’m not cut out for the system or the systems not cut out for me
and i know nothing will change talking of anarchy is childish
but so what if i’m immature
i’ve still got a spikey jacket and a good sense of humor
i ain't got nothing else if that makes me a loser
then maybe i like being one
i’ve still got my punk rock boots and a brain run by id i ain't got nothing else if that makes me a dumb kid then maybe i like being one
