Sum 41 - Assorted Songs
Fat Lip
Storming through the party like my name was El ninio
When I'm handgun out drinking 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 no body 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.
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
become another casualty of society.
I'll never fall in line
Become another victim of your conformity
And back down.
Because 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
become another casualty of society.
I'll never fall in line
Become another 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 shit 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
become another casualty of society.
I'll never fall in line
Become another 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.
The faster we're falling,
We're stopping and stalling,
We're running in circles again
Just as things were looking up
You said it wasn't good enough.
But still we're trying one more time.
Maybe we're just trying too hard.
When really it's closer than it is too far
Chorus
Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm tryin to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm tryin to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Instead of going under.
Seems like each time
I'm with you I lose my mind,
Because I'm bending over backwards to relate.
It's one thing to complain
But when your driving me insane
Well then I think it's time that we took a break.
Maybe we're just trying too hard.
When really it's closer than it is too far
Chorus
Instead of going under.
I can't sit back and wonder why.
It took so long for this to die.
And I hate it when you fake it.
You can't hide it you might as well embrace it.
So believe me it's not easy.
It seems like something's telling me,
Chorus
Instead of going under.
Instead of going under again.
Instead of going under.
Instead of going under again.
Instead of going under again.
