I was that kid sitti n' over

smili ng with a shit-eati ng gri n
A nd I was that kid smili n' i n
the back of class
'cause I am fryi n' on mescali ne
I was that kid dri nki n' 40's
on the bleachers
getti ng drunk after school
Getti n' home t oo late,
falli n' on my face,
way t oo drunk t o skate
a nd acti n' a fool

I was that kid never doi ng
good at
n othi ng except fo r maybe
at P.E.
A nd I was that kid getti ng
bullied by the
filipi nos rolli n with ABT
Me a nd my friends readi ng
the satanic bible thi nki ng
we should start a ba nd
Cutti ng class t o jam,
cutti ng class t o jam
I n my dad's garage we
learned t o

Act a fool – don't need t o
be cool
Pi ssed off t oo a nd
breaki ng the rules
Mama t old me stay i n school

But thi s i s my american high

Act a fool – don't need t o

What you got agai nst me,

Telli n' me I am never getti ng

Act a fool – don't need t o

Pi ssed off t oo a nd

Mama t old me stay i n school
don't rock 'n roll
But thi s i s my american high

Act a fool – don't need t o

Break the rules
