American High Lyrics

Oh, my God
I fuckin' love it
Come on
Check it outI 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 mescalineWell, I was that kid drinkin' 40's on the bleachers
Getting drunk after school
And gettin' home too late, fallin' on my face
Way too drunk to skate, actin' a fool
[Incomprehensible] actin' a foolI 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 ABTMe 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 garage we learned toAct 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 was my American highCheck it out
I was that kid that was tryin' to fuck your girlfriend
Couldn't get a goddamn date
And I was that kid that was getting hella busted
For pissin' on the subwayI fuckin' hated school except for hanging out with my friends
The outcast that was startin' up a band
Fremont was the town, California-bound
Bay area sound, taught us toAct a fool, don't need to be cool
Pissed off too and fucking the rules
Mama told me, stay in school
Don't rock 'n' roll but this was your AmericanAsteroids beat out homework
But [Incomprehensible] beat out Zeppelin
Not the sharpest noggin
That's why I'm in this bandAnd what you got against me
I don't need a new job
What you got against me
I'll get by on my ownTellin' me I'm never getting by from my songs
I love it when you're proven wrongAct 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 was my AmericanAct a fool, don't need to be cool
Break the rules 'cause this is your American highYour American high
