Fat Lip
Sum 41 · All the Good Shit [2009]
When I'm hangin' out drinkin' in the back of el camino
As a kid was a skid, and no one knew me by name
I crashed my own house party 'cuz nobody came
And I know I'm not the one you thought you knew back
In high school
Never going, never showing up whenever we had to
The attention that we crave, don't tell us to behave
I'm sick of always hearing act your age
I don't wanna waste my time
Become another casualty of society
I'll never fall in line
Become another victim of your conformity
And back down....
Be... Cause... You.... Don't
Know us at all
We laugh when old people fall
But what would you expect with a conscience so small
Heavy metal and mullets is how we were raised
Maiden and Priest were the gods that we praised
And we like having fun at other peoples expense and
Cutting people down is just a minor offence
And it's none of your concern
I guess I'll never learn
I'm sick of bein' told to wait my turn
I don't wanna waste my time
Become another casualty of society
I'll never fall in line
Become another victim of your conformity
And back down
Don't count on me
To let you know when
Don't count on me
I'll do it again
Don't count on me
It's the point your missin
Don't count on me
'Cuz I'm not listenin
Well I'm a no goodnick lower middle class brat,
Back packed and I dont give a shit about nothing.
You be standin' on the corner talkin' on that kuffufin'
But you don't make sense from all the gas you be huffin'
If the ink don't stain you'll be ringin' off the hook
Your on the hit list wanted in the telephone book
I like songs with distortion, to drink in proportion
The DOCTOR said my mom should've had an abortion
I don't wanna waste my time
Become another casualty in society
I'll never fall in line
Become another victim of your conformity
And back down
Waste my time with them
Casualty in society
Waste my time with them
Victim of your conformity
And back down
Fat Lip
