There was once a kid   Who had no hope inside his mind.    People putting him down    Cause he had a big appetite.    Day after day, its all the same;    Put downs, insults, feeling shame    Till that day he turned it all around.    Punk rock's what he found.    And now he's feeling proud cause    Today's his day.       Looking through the aging frame    Now we'll see who's feeling shame.    Burnouts, dropouts, out of lucks    Now just looking to pass the buck for a @*%!    Cause they saw the fat kid the other day    And saw how punk rock changed the way.    I guess there's nothing left to say.    Boy, those shmucks sure did pay.    Now he's telling them what to say.    I guess there's nothing left for me to say cause    Today's his day.       Cause as I see it now,    I know exactly how,    How cruel this world can really be.    And now I see a change inside my mind,    And it keeps on pushing me to try and try.    To try.    To try.
