Thrash Unreal
Against Me! Lyrics


If she wants to dance and drink all night
Well, there's no one that can stop her
She's going till the house lights come up or her stomach spills onto the floor
This night is gonna end when we're damn well ready for it to be over
Worked all week long, now the music is playing on our time
Yeah, we do what we do to get by, and then we need a release

Bah bah bah, bah bah bah-bah-bah bah
Bah bah bah, bah bah bah-bah-bah bah
Bah bah bah, bah bah bah-bah-bah bah
Bah bah bah, bah bah bah-bah-bah bah

You get mixed up with the wrong guys
You get messed up on the wrong drugs
Sometimes the party takes you places that you didn't really plan on going
When people see the track marks on her arm, she knows what they're thinking
She keeps on working for that minimum
As if a high school education gave you any other options, you know

They don't know nothing about redemption
They don't know nothing about recovery
Some people just aren't the type for marriage and family

No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to be a junkie (bah bah bah)
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to sleep alone (bah bah bah-bah-bah bah)
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to be a junkie (bah bah bah)
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to sleep alone (bah bah bah-bah-bah bah)

She's out of step with the style
She don't know where the action's happening
You know the downtown club scene ain't nothing like it used to be
You reach a point where there's not a lie in the world
That you could use to make the boys believe you're still in your twenties
But they keep getting younger, don't they, baby?

She's not waiting for someone to come over and ask for the privilege
She can still hear that rebel yell just as loud as it was in 1983, you know
There ain't no Johnny coming home to share a bed with her, and she doesn't care

No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to be a junkie (bah bah bah)
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to sleep alone (bah bah bah-bah-bah bah)
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to be a junkie (bah bah bah)
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to sleep alone (bah bah bah-bah-bah bah)
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to be a junkie (bah bah bah)
And if she had to live it all over again, you know she wouldn't change anything for the world

If she wants to dance and drink all night
Well there's no one that can stop her
She's goin' 'til the house lights come up
Or her stomach spills onto the floor
This night is gonna end
When we're damn well ready for it to be over
Worked all week long
Now the music is playing on our time
Yeah, we do what we do to get by
And then we need a release
You're getting mixed up with the wrong guys
You're getting messed up on the wrong drugs
Sometimes the party takes you places
That you didn't really plan on goin'
When people see the track marks on her arms
She knows what they're thinking
She keeps on working for that minimum
As if a high school education gave you any other options, you know
They don't know nothing about redemption
They don't know nothing about recovery
Some people just aren't the type for marriage and family
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna to grow up to be a junkie
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna to grow up to sleep alone
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna to grow up to be a junkie
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna to grow up to sleep alone
She's out of step with the style
She don't know where the action's happening
You know the downtown club scene
Ain't nothing like it used to be
You reach a point where there's not a lie in the world
That you could use to make the boys believe
You're still in your 20s, uh, but
They keep getting younger, don't they, baby?
She's not waiting for someone to come over
And ask for the privilege
She can still hear that rebel yell
Just as loud as it was in 1983, you know
There ain't no Johnny coming home to share a bed with her
And she doesn't care
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna to grow up to be a junkie
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna to grow up to sleep alone
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna to grow up to be a junkie
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna to grow up to sleep alone
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna to grow up to be a junkie
And if she had to live it all over again
You know she wouldn't change anything for the world

@Topper Harley "they" don't push it on kids. They give kids the resources to understand this stuff, and if they come out- it's because they were already trans.

I hate it when this stuff is framed as the evil queers tricking kids into becoming the wrong gender- because from my perspective- that's exactly what society did to me.

I was born a boy- I was taught that boys think, dress, and act in certain ways. Any deviation from these rules was met with, often violent, pushback. I wasn't acting like a boy- so I needed to be punished until I did act like a boy.

I was a punk rock kid, so obviously I rebelled against those rules anyway- I was as girly as I wanted to be- all the time, cross dressed frequently- got into some pretty serious fights on occasions when my voice gave me away- I still wear the scars from them to this day.
I didn't fucking care what they wanted me to act like- I knew how I wanted to be.

But even so, I didn't know I could just.... be a girl if I wanted to. Nobody told me. I was always just going to be an ~uwu~ femboy with a distain for authority. I was sad that I wasn't a girl- but there was nothing I could do about it.

If I had known as a kid- I wouldn't be dealing with half the shit I am now. I'd be indistinguishable from "the real thing" unless someone looked in my pants.

I've started transition now in my late 20s. And I can tell you for a fact- if I had been taught about this stuff earlier- I'd already have been the woman I've always wanted to be years ago. Teaching kids about gender identity doesn't turn them trans- It just lets the ones that already are flourish and have a better shot at living their best lives.

I have listened to this song over 1000 times in the last 6 months.
Ive been a college student & stay at home dad to our 4 kids.
My wife hadnt given me much thought or attention in over a year (sexless marriage), and I felt used & unwanted.

I made it through a suicide attempt in October.
My wife asked for a divorce 6 days after I was released from the hospital.
Then she cheated on me with my friend, and accused him of rape.
Then she took my kids through CPS, because of my mental illnesses. (PTSD, ADHD, GAD & OCD).
Laura Jane Grace is revolutionary and speaks to my pain and gives it a safe place to go.

Thank you, Against Me!, for keeping me here.
Thrash Unreal, Black Me Out, & FML666 are constantly playing for the energy I need.
All of "Against Me!" Is my anthem now, and has been for almost a decade.

I'm a hospice nurse and had a dance party with a dying man to this song today and I think it will go down as one of the best moments of my life.

Sari Smith

I remember when I got out of rehab like five year ago, I drove over two hours by myself to go to an Against Me show alone in Buffalo. I cried the hardest ever in my life when they played this song. Recovery is so incredibly hard, but so totally worth it.

jimmiemclovin

I think you earned every drop of those tears. Be well and don't stop...starting is the hardest part and you're past it. I'm actually moving to Buffalo from Phoenix next month. I would consider myself fortunate to bump into you sometime, but you take care of yourself, you have a good heart. with love.

Hi

Stay strong Sari

Laura let me enter the Against Me! concert in my hometown because I was broke and didn't have a dime to pay for the ticked. I respect her so much... WONDERFUL human being!
