"OH MY GOD!"

"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'son the bleachers
getting drunk after school
Gettin' home too late,
fallin' on my face,
way too drunk to skate
and actin' a fool
Drunk and actin' a Fool
I was that kid never doing
good at
nothing except for may
beat P.E.

And I was that kid getting
bullied by theFilipinos 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 tobe cool
Pissed off too and
breaking the rules
Mama told me stay inschool
don't rock 'n roll
But this is my Americanhigh

I was that kid that was
crank-callingyour girlfriend,
couldn't get a goddamn date
And I was that kid that was
getting hella busted forpissin' on the bart train
I fuckin' hated school
except for hanging out
with my friends,
the outcast that wasstartin' up a band
Fremont was the town,
California-bound,
bay area sound,
taught me to

Act a fool - don't need tobe cool
Pissed off too andbreaking 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 tobe cool
Pissed off too andbreaking 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 tobe cool
Break the rules
'cause this is my American high"
