I remember a math teacher I had in 7th grade,
|
he talked down to me about every single day.
|
And to make the matters worse, the bastard failed me too
|
so for the first time in my life I raised my fist and said "Fuck you".
|
That was the me that I thought that I was going to become.
|
I made no mistakes and I made sure everything got done
|
by me and no one else but now I just let others decide.
|
I've become so indolent should I just go run and hide.
|
How come every song I write has some ska breakdown.
|
And why do I care if my styles change?
|
How come it feels like everybody is talking about me behind my back again like my old friends?
|
And when is this gonna transcend?
|
Comfortable mediocrity-- look at our mediocre scene.
|
Who cares? I've got no confidence of self esteem.
|
Is this what we want it to be? A mediocre scene
|
where you're skapunkemohardcore or you're not cool enough? Suck me.
|
I used to say "Hey, you can't talk to me like that"
|
and I used to be short and I used to be fat.
|
I remember when the skater kids used to pick on me,
|
but I don't care now cause I have your money.
|
But I remember saying that I'd show them who's the man.
|
They'd try to get on my good side so I could book their band.
|
And I'd say "no" but now I just don't care cause grudges hurt the scene.
|
What's the difference between keeping your spine and just being mean?
|
I feel like it was not my fault to have this label.
|
But we knew where we were heading from the start.
|
I can still voice my beliefs so listen hard damn well to me.
|
Music segregation's shit. Tear borded lines apart.
|
Let's focus on what I call we. "We're sooo ruling the scene.
|
I played with Edna's and Dan Deacon's friends with me."
|
I'm not saying its trendy, but where's the variety.
|
"You're skapunkemohardcore or you're not cool enough for me."
|
If you see Adam Geller never ever shake his hand,
|
just kick him in the ass. He isn't in the band.
