E                 B
Mom and dad they quite
don't understand it
E                  B
All the kids they laugh
as if they planned it
C#m
Why do girls want to
A
pierce their nose?
C#m
And walk around in
B
torn pantyhose Oh yeah!

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

Chorus:
    E      E/G#      B
So give me one good reason
E      E/G#     B        A
Why we need to be like them
E         E/G#         B
Kids will have fun and offend
E          E/G#
They don't want to
     B        A
and don't fit in

Hate the jocks and preps,
the hippie fucking scumbags
Heavy metalers with their awful pussy hairbands
Counting seconds until we can get away
Ditching school almost every single day, oh yeah

Chorus

Chorus:
Give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to, and don't fit in
