lyrics

He’s A Fuck-up

I remember the parties and the fights.
The melodrama and the hot summer nights.
Hanging ‘round outside of convenience stores.
The morning after and the nights before.
I think I promised someone, somewhere,
That I was going straight home,
But I never made it there.
I never was good at finding my way,
And when I walked by, you could always hear ‘em say...

“There goes that boy, he’s a fuck-up.
Always making noise in his punk rock band.
But his beater always starts up.
He breaks the rules but he never ends up in the can...”

I never did much, I just hung around.
Played my guitar and tried to get outta town.
Looking back, it aint no secret to me,
I’m only here ‘cos someone prayed for me.
I still get stares and double-takes, too,
Just ‘cos I don't look exactly like you.
And if I see a 100, I’ll be proud to say,
That when I walk by, you can always hear ‘em say...

“There goes that boy, he’s a fuck-up.
Always making noise in his punk rock band.
But his beater always starts up.
He breaks the rules but he never ends up in the can...”
