American High

(الألبوم: Supercharger - 2001)

I was that kid sitting over
in the corner,
smiling with a shit-eating
grin
And I was that kid smiling in
the back of class
'cause I'm frying on mescaline
I was that kid drinking 40's
on the bleachers
getting drunk after school
Getting home too late,
falling on my face,
way too drunk to skate
and acting a fool

I was that kid never doing
good at
nothing except for maybe
at P.E.
And I was that kid getting
bullied by the
Filipinos rolling with ABT
Me and my friends reading
the satanic bible thinking
we should start a band
Cutting class to jam,
cutting class to jam
In my dad's garage we
learned to

Act a fool don't need to
be cool
Pissed off too and
breaking the rules
Mama told me stay in
school
don't rock 'n roll
But this is my American
high

I was that kid that was
crank-calling
your girlfriend, couldn't
get a goddamn date
And I was that kid that was
getting hella busted for
pissing on the bart train
I fucking hated school
except for hanging out
with my friends, the
outcast that was
starting up a band
Fremont was the town,
California-bound,
bay area sound, taught me
to

Act a fool don't need to
be cool
Pissed off too and
breaking the rules
Mama told me stay in
school
don't rock 'n roll
But this is my American
high

I'm that kid you tried to
punk in English class
Now I'm in a band and
you're kissing my...

Asteroids beat out homework
Slayer beat out Zeppelin
Not the sharpest noggin
that's why I'm in this band

And what you got against
me, I don't need a new job
What you got against me,
I'll get by on my own
Telling me I'm never getting
by from my songs
I love it when you're
proven wrong

Act a fool don't need to
be cool
Pissed off too and
breaking the rules
Mama told me stay in
school
don't rock 'n roll
But this is my American
high

Act a fool don't need to
be cool
Break the rules
'cause this is my American
high.
