Why

Blink 182

6

Since you were born you watched TV

Cartoons with violence

And greed

In your world all that was okay

Your parents never taught you right

From wrong but they taught you to fight

Now it's time to show them you've got

Gotta show them what you've got

An attitude of fancy cars

And your buddies got your back

Their parents house compared to yours

Looks something like a shack

In your 37 runs

Your buddies spanked you red

A simple steerage's all it takes

To fill em up with led but

Why are you acting

Like you're someone else?

Why can't you stop thinking

About yourself?

Last Friday night you went driving

A stolen car with golden rings

It was something you just had to do

Your little friend told cops about you

And you were sentenced for a long time

Now tell me what you're gonna do

In a world where no one cares

Labels I don't wanna wear

I had a dream that I could once

walk safetly in the streets

But you had to take it away yeah

You had to take it away from me

Why are you acting

Like you're someone else?

Why can't you stop thinking

About yourself?
