Lyrics

Fecal Matter demo version (3:55)

I was sitting here
In a preppy shirt
And you and my best friend and you came over to me and said
And said ... said hey jerk
I've got this good thing going here
I thought that I would share with you
It's a real neat thing to examine
Everybody's doing it and I thought that we should follow the trend
But I'm afraid.
What'll my parents say
Now I know no need to explain that's okay
You get your clothes full of holes
You spray-paint your hair, and then you become a punkkk...
I'm a punk rocker
I'm...I'm a punk rocker
My attitude ... is fuck you
I want to go home
My mind must be
Be washed with bleach
I feel safer alone
I'm a punk rocker
But I'm afraid
What'll my parents say
Now I know no need to explain that's okay
You get your clothes full of holes
You spray-paint you hair, and then you become a punkkk...
I'm a punk rocker
I'm...I'm a punk rocker
But I'm afraid
What'll my parents say
I want to go home
My mind must be
Be washed in bleach
I feel safer alone
