MattCrap: Acoustic Weekly- POST 029

lyrics

back in high school going nowhere
i did one thing to get them to stare
bought a pair of red chuck taylors
a big fat dork ace'n all my papers
getting laughed at by one and all
with every step i took down that hall
who would have thought where i was when i was me
would be where they claimed to be


i don't need ink on my skin or steel in my face
to prove that i'm the coolest cat in this place
cause i don't fucking care
i've got my Red Shoe Diarrhea


sparrow pairs and iron cross
american eagle our soul is lost
lucky dice with hard luck
all i've got is a pair of chucks
that i never wear cause i'm sick you see
of outlaw being normalcy
adhering to supposed punk rock laws
a neo rebel without a clause


you don't need ink on yer skin or steel in yer face
to prove you're the saddest girl in this place
all ya need is time
and a peek at my Red Shoe Diarrhea


amongst a sea of converse allstar
wondering how it all strayed so far
underground by definition can't be
sustained by recognition
i don't give in, so don't give up
there's easier ways of goin' nuts
if you look like him and she looks like her
you can all be fake rock together


i don't need ink on my skin or steel in my face
to prove that i'm the smoothest dude in this place
cause i don't fucking care
i've got my Red Shoe Diarrhea

i finally understand all those punk songs
detesting everything where i come from
suburban kids get ahold of music
in comes fashion and mis-use it
just a theft like any other
and open source for all to smother
light a match, burn to the ground
muffling all that anthem sound


i don't need ink on my skin or steel in my face
to prove that i'm the sanest guy in this place
you don't need ink on yer skin or steel in yer face
to prove that you're the saddest fuck in this place
all ya need is time
and to read through my Red Shoe Diarrhea
