Machine Head

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 Im fryin on mescaline
I was that kid drinkin 40s
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 rollin 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 dads garage we
Learned to
Act a fool - dont need to
Be cool
Pissed off too and
Breaking the rules
Mama told me stay in
School
Dont rock n roll
But this is my american
High
I was that kid that was
Crank-calling
Your girlfriend, couldnt
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
