Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

FUCK YOU WE DON'T NEED YOU [x7]
SO FUCK YOU!

There's nothing PUNK about being a HIPPIE
Ya everything's soooo FUCKIN TRIPPY
I don't need no fuckin mom and dad
we're on our own and we like it sad
There's nothing you could ever say
To make me wanna be that way
There's nothing you could ever do
To make me wanna live like you

You make me wanna FUCKIN DIE!
Because you never even try

We don't really need you, see?
So I'm gonna fuckin count to three
I don't like you or your crew
And we got nothing better to do

DON'T FUCKIN TOUCH ME, I START FIRES
I'LL STAB YOU WITH A PAIR OF PLIERS!

YOU MAKE
ME WANNA DIE YOUNG! [x4]

FUCK YOU WE DON'T NEED YOU [X4]
FUCK YOU!





YOU MAKE
ME WANNA DIE YOUNG! [x4]
