American High Lyrics

I was that kid sittin' over in the corner

Smiling with a shit-eating grin

And I was that kid smilin' In the back of class

'Cause I'm fryin on mescaline

I was that kid drinkin' 40's on the bleachers

Getting drunk after school

Gettin' home too late, fallin' on my face

Way too drunk to skate

And actin' a fool

I was that kid never doing good at

Nothing except for maybe at P.E.

And I was that kid getting bullied by the

Filipinos rollin' with ABT

Me and my friends reading

The satanic bible thinking we should start a band

Cutting class to jam, cutting class to jam

In my dad's garaged we learned to

Act a fool - don't need to be cool

Pissed off too and breaking the rules

Mama told me stay in school

Don't rock 'n roll

But this is my american high

I was that kid crank-calling

Your girlfriend, couldn't get a goddamn date

And I was that kid that was

Getting hella busted for pissin' on the bart train

I fuckin' hated school except for hanging out with my friendsHead Machine - American High - http://motolyrics.com/head-machine/american-high-lyrics.html

The outcast that was startin' up a band

Fremont was the town, California-bound

Bay area sound, taught me to

Act a fool - don't need to be cool

Pissed off too and breaking the rules

Mama told me stay in school

Don't rock 'n roll

But this is my american high

I'm that kid you tried to punk in english class

Now I'm in a band and your kissin' my...

Asteroids beat out homework

Slayer beat out Zeppelin

Not the sharpest noggin

That's why I'm in this band

And what you got against me, I don't need a new job

What you got against me, I'll get by on my own

Tellin' me I'm never gettin' by from songs

I love it when your proven wrong

Act a fool - don't need to be cool

Pissed off too and breaking the rules

Mama told me stay in school

Don't rock 'n roll

But this is my american high

Act a fool - don't need to be cool

Break the rules

Cause this is my american high
