Lyrics
When I was so much younger
Not so long ago
I looked around and decided I didn't fit society's mold
So I went searching for a place to belong
Where I didn't feel so wrong
Then I met some people who seemed to be like me
With their peace and love and desire to being free
So I tie-dyed my shirts, put beads in my hair
Went all the way
I became a hippy that day
But I couldn't eat granola and lay down in the hay
Letting the world around me waste away, oh no
Didn't want their debt, their drugs, their weak-ass code
Any of that shit
So I said fuck off
So I got a little older
Just trying to tune in
To something I could believe in
So I started listening to industrial goth
Dressed all in black
Hanging out in cemeteries
Thought I would never look back
Then I met some people
Fellow children of the night
We banded together ready for society's fight
Wearing makeup and trench coats
Just being a freak all the way
I became a goth that day
But I couldn't be that pretentious or spiteful
Didn't' care about appearances of being beautiful
Didn't want their style, their bias, their self-importance
Any of that shit
So I said fuck off
Still I swore
I'd find my own scene
I wanted that more than anything
Found a group that seemed to have it all
My punkrock family that wouldn't fall
Got a mohawk and patches on my jeans
Lived by ideals and ethics within my means
Listened to some music
Made some friends
I'm a punk rocker
My search was at an end
Whoa
But I was wrong again
They were all the same
At each others throats playing the same popularity game
Didn't want their uniform
Their attitudes or double standards
Any of that shit
So I said fuck off
We have the power to be who we be
To make the kind of world that we wanna see
So come on get out of your pretty little box
I don't care if you're a punk, hick, hippy, or goth
I just want me to be me, and you to be you
And us to be free
From the government and media that's so shallow
And the diatribe that we just won't swallow
The dissent that we sew
Against the system that keeps us
Keeps us from running this whole show
