Strollin' to the party like my name is El ninio Well I'm hangin' out drinking in the back of an El camino As a kid, was a skid and no one knew me by name I trashed my own house party cause no body came Well I know I'm not the one you thought you knew back in high school Never going, never 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 is 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 offense 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 goodick 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 won't make any sense from all the gas you'll be huffing And 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, drinkin' 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 a Casualty of society Waste my time with a Victim of your conformity And back down
