30 FOOT FALL - How I Became The Jerk lyrics

rate me

Now here's a song for all of you <br>

Who hate the world the way I do <br>

And all the whiney old school farts <br>

And the sophomoric new school fools <br>

And the cliques that rise up in between <br>

The different sections of the scene <br>

Talking too loud and self too self absorbed <br>

To see their own idiocy <br>

<br>

But I'm full of it too... <br>

A bag of hot air just like you. <br>

Idealism burning the world down <br>

Like I'm better than all the suit and tie guys downtown <br>

<br>

Anybody can dress like an asshole <br>

Anybody can have an opinion <br>

Everybody can become what they hate <br>

so fuck everybody <br>

<br>

Sixth fucking grade <br>

The year that all the world's evil and trickle down <br>

pressured to "be somebody" manifested itself in my peer group <br>

Petty shit talking dress codes <br>

And early installments of class division <br>

And patriarchal value? <br>

I guess our parents were proud <br>

<br>

But hey look at us now! <br>

we've got the attitude down <br>

Silence everyone who doesn't think like me <br>

I'm a ship with no sails yea you might call me silly but... <br>

<br>

Anybody can dress like an asshole <br>

Anybody can have an opinion <br>

Everybody can become what they hate <br>

so fuck everybody.. except me of course <br>

<br>

Ah yes, the angry breakdown of the song <br>

All you before me must stand in awe of my <br>

Angry pasturising and angst ridden growls.. <br>

Genuflect my brothers and sisters and in-betweeners <br>

for I hold the microphone, and therefore <br>

I AM SOMEBODY <br>

<br>

I'm trying to sound convincing (listern to this guy yell) <br>

But I'm just not that angry (what's he tryin' to sell) <br>

My specialty, lip service (nobody listerns to you) <br>

Hide behind popular politics (no wonder you cleared the room) <br>

<br>

That's how I became the Jerk <br>

That's how I became the Jerk <br>

That's how I became the Jerk <br>

That's how I became the Jerk.<br>
