I wanna be popular
But I don't wanna have to wear
A stupid Abocrombie shirt
And pants that make my groin hurt.
I want to have some true friends
And start my own trends.
I want some popularity
But still keep all my dignity.

I wanna be a punk rocker
But I don't wanna have to wear
A pair of Chucks and crappy pants
And skank and mosh instead of dance.
I still like to eat animals,
And be an individual.
I don't support anarchy.
I wanna keep my dignity.

Do you think I do the things I do
To just conform or to look cool?
Do you know how easy it could be
If I were patriotic?
About how you dance or what you wear,
I never told you what to do,
I only told you how I feel.

I want to pursue
The American dream.
I wanna live
In pursuit of happiness.
Remember when punk rock
Was just three kids.
Remember when punk rock
Was just three chords, two minutes, no talent and just 
fun.
(at the same time):
Fuck you,
Fuck greed and money, lazy ignorance,
This was always about challenging conventions.
I think that punk rock
Is still just three kids.
I think that punk rock's more than
Three chords, two minutes, no talent and just fun.
