Lyrics

Storming through the party
Like my name was El ninio
When I'm hangin' out drinkin'
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 nobody 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
Is it 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
And become a
Casualty of society
I'll never fall in line
Become a 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
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
And become a
Casualty of society
I'll never fall in line
Become a 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 sh*t 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
And become a
Casualty of society
I'll never fall in line
Become a 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
