lyrics

I'm feeling kinda bored today
Getting restless
I need something to do
So I made a plan
To check out a local band or two
I put on a denim vest
Tight black pants
I must admit I looked sharp
But everyone just stared
'Cause my clothes were not all torn apart.

What did I do wrong
I sang along to your songs
Oh won't somebody please explain it all to me

'Cause apparently punk rock still has a dress code
And you must conform to a tee
If you wear the wrong shirt they'll all think you're a jerk
And kick you out of the scene
I thought fashion labels were just for cool kids
But maybe that's just a cliche
You might say that I'm jealous
But I'm just rebellious
I'm not going away

I find it hard to understand
Does it matter if there's glue in my hair
Why do you think I suck
'Cause I don't wear crusty underwear
I don't have any tattoos
I know that's not trendy
But I make my own rules
You call me a fool
'Cause I don't wanna be just like you

What did I do wrong
I sang along to your songs
Oh won't somebody please explain it all to me

'Cause apparently punk rock still has a dress code
And you must conform to a tee
If you wear the wrong shirt they'll all think you're a jerk
And kick you out of the scene
I thought fashion labels were just for cool kids
But maybe that's just a cliche
You might say that I'm jealous
But I'm just rebellious
I'm not going away
I'm here to stay
