Mom and dad they quite don't understand it,
E                  B
all the kids they laugh as if they planned it
C#m                 A
Why do girls wanna pierce their nose,
C#m                B
and walk around in torn pantyhose, oh yeah

E                         B
i like the ones who say they listen to the punk rock
E                               B
i like the the kids who fight against how they were brought up
C#m                             A
They hate the trends and think it's fucked to care,
C#m                             B
it's cool when they piss people off with what they wear, oh yeah

So give me one good reason,
E      Abm     B          A
why we need to be like them
E         Abm      B
Kids will have fun and offend,
E          Abm         B         A
They don't want to and don't fit in

Hate the jocks, the preps, the hippie fuckin scumbags
E                         B
Heavy metalers with their awful pussy hair bands
C#m                    A
counting seconds until we can get away,
C#m                    B
ditching school almost every single day, oh yeah
