Fat Lip

Sum 41 · All the Good Shit [2009]

Stormin' through the party like my name is El NiƱo

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
