Some punk songs really mean something...if only we knew what they were saying...

"FAT LIP" BY SUM 41

Storming through the party like my name was El nino
When Im 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 Im not the one you thought you knew back in high school
Never going, ever showing up when we had to.
Is it attention that we crave dont tell us to behave,
Im sick of always hearing act your age.

I dont want to waste my time
And become a casualty of society.
Ill never fall in line
Become a victim of your conformity
And back down.

Because you dont
Know us at all we laugh when old people fall.
But what would you expect with a conscience so small.
Heavy metal and mullets its 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,
Its none of your concern, I guess Ill never learn.
Im sick of being told to wait my turn.

I dont want to waste my time
And become a casualty of society.
Ill never fall in line
Become a victim of your conformity
And back down.

Dont count on me, to let you know when.
Dont count on me, Ill do it again.
Dont count on me, its the point youre missing.
Dont count on me, cause Im not listening.

Well Im a no goodnick lower middle class brat,
Back packed and I dont give a shit about nothing.
You be standing on the corner talking all that kufuffin.
But you dont make sense from all the gas you be huffing.
Then if the egg dont stain youll be ringing off the hook,
Youre 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 dont want to waste my time
And become a casualty of society.
Ill never fall in line
Become a 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 ROCK SHOW" BY BLINK-182

Hanging out behind the club on the weekends
Acting stupid, getting drunk with my best friends
I couldn't wait for the summer and the Warped Tour
I rememeber that it's the first time that I saw her there

She's getting kicked out of school cause she's failing
I'm kinda nervous, cause I think all her friends hate me
She's the one, she'll always be there
She took my hand and I made it I swear

Because I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said "what?" and I told her that I didn't know
She's so cool, better sneak me through her window
Everything's better when she's around
Can't wait until her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

When we said we were gonna move to Vegas
I remember the look her mother gave us
17 without a purpose or direction
We don't owe anyone a fuckin explatation

I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said "what?" and I told her that I didn't know
She's so cool, better sneak me through her window
Everything's better when she's around
Can't wait until her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

Black and white picture of her on my wall
I waited for her call, she always kept me waiting
And if I ever got another chance I'd still ask her to dance
Because she kept me waiting

I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said "what?" and I told her that I didn't know
She's so cool, better sneak me through her window
Everything's better when she's around
Can't wait until her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

with the girl at the rock show
with the girl at the rock show
(I'll never forget tonight)
with the girl at the rock show......

"HIT OR MISS" BY NEW FOUND GLORY

The needle on my record player has been wearing thin
This record has been playing since the day you went with him
No more long rides home
No more of your station
I didn't like it anyways
Remember the time we wrote our names upon the wall
Remember the time we realized "Thriller" was our favorite song
Have I waited too long
Have I found that someone
Have I waited waited too long
To see you
Maybe it's for the best
Maybe it's not for anything
It wouldn't be so bad to take this right from me
No more long rides home
No more of your station
I didn't like it anyway
Remember the time we realized "Thriller" was our favorite song
Have I waited too long
Have I found that someone
Have I waited too long
To see you
How many times I've tried
It's simple to you, so simple to lie
How many times I've tried
Blatant mistakes of your design
Have I waited too long
Have I found that someone
Have I wanted too long
To see you
I've had so many chances
Turn my back and I ran away
I've had so many chances
To see you

"FLAVOR OF THE WEEK" BY AMERICAN HI-FI

She paints her nails
And she don't know
He's got her best friend on the phone
She'll wash her her
His dirty clothes are all he gives to her
And he's got posters on the wall
Of all the girls he wish she was
And he means everything to her

Her boyfriend
He don't know
Anything about her
He's too stoned
Nintendo
I wish that i could make her see
She's just the flavor of the week

It's friday night
She's all alone
He's a million miles away
And she's dressed to kill
The TV's on
He's connected to the sound
And he's got pictures on the wall
Of all the girls he's loved before
And she knows all his favortie songs

Her boyfriend
He don't know
Anything about her
He's too stoned
Nintendo
I wish that i could make her see
She's just the flavor of the week

Her boyfriend
He don't know
Anything about her
He's too stoned
He's too sonted
He's too stoned
He's too stoned

Her boyfriend
He don't know
Anything about her, needs
Too stoned
Nintendo
I wish that i could make her see
She's just the flavor of the week
Yeah she's just the flavor of the week
She makes me weak

"A SINGLE SECOND" BY AFI

Oh my God!
My God this can't be happening!
God tell me,
tell me this isn't real!
I can't believe all that I have foreseen is finally happening.
I cannot for a single second stand the way I feel.
I always knew.
I always saw it coming.
Enveloped now,
encased by my worst fear.
I've never felt the nausea of longing to feel nothing,
I never wanted to cease to exist,just disappear.
Fear memories are all that lie ahead.
Never have I felt so lost.
Memories dull my senses.
Fear tragedy is all that lies ahead.
Never have I felt so dead.
Once felt so warm,
no I'm fucking freezing.
I am the once embraced abandoned one.
I raised my eyes up to the light in hopes of finding healing;
no relief was mine,
I was burnt, by the sun.
