• American High

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 rolling 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 garage 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 that was 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 friends, 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 you're kissing 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 getting by from my songs
I love it when you're 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.
