Fat Lip [Sum 41]
American Pie · American Pie 2 [Soundtrack] [2001]
When I'm handgun out drinking in the back of an El camino
As a kid, I was a skid and no one knew me by name.
I trashed my own house party cause no body came.
I know I'm not the one you thought you knew back in high school
Never going, ever showing up when we had to.
attention that we crave don't tell us to behave,
I'm sick of always hearing act your age.
I don't want to waste my time
become another casualty of society.
I'll never fall in line
Become another victim of your conformity
And back down.
Because 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 it's how we were raised.
Maiden and priest were the gods that we praised
Cause we like having fun at other peoples expense and,
Cutting people down is just a minor offence then,
It's none of your concern, I guess I'll never learn.
I'm sick of being told to wait my turn.
I don't want to 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 you're missing.
Don't count on me, cause I'm not listening.
Well I'm a no goodnick lower middle class brat,
Back packed and I don't give a shit about nothing.
You be standing on the corner talking all that kufuffin.
But you don't make sense from all the gas you be huffing.
Then if the egg don't stain you'll be ringing off the hook,
You're on the hit list wanted in the telephone book.
I like songs with distortion, to drink in proportion.
The doctor said my mom should have had an abortion.
I don't want to waste my time
become another casualty of society.
I'll never fall in line
Become another victim of your conformity
And back down.
Waste my time with them
Casualty of society.
Waste my time again,
Victim of your conformity
And back down.
Fat Lip [Sum 41]
American Pie's cover of Sum 41's 'Fat Lip' serves as a standout track on the 2001 soundtrack, blending the original punk energy with the band's signature country-rock fusion. While Sum 41's version is known for its aggressive guitar riffs and high-pitched vocals, American Pie reimagines the song with a polished, melodic approach that highlights their unique ability to merge disparate musical styles. The recording captures the mid-2000s alternative rock landscape, where artists frequently collaborated across genres to create dynamic soundscapes. This version remains a notable example of how established acts can reinterpret iconic pop-punk anthems, adding their own distinct flavor while honoring the source material's impact on the genre.
