Stereotype Lyrics
He's just a stereotype
He drinks his age in pints
He has girls every night
But he doesn't really exist
He spends his weekends with a load of blokes
He forgets the punchline when he tells a joke
He wants to stay out, he don't want to go home
'Til his nicotine fingers are stuffed down his throat
He's just a stereotype
He drinks his age in pints
He drives home pissed at night
And he listens to his stereo
He blamed his fiancée when he caught VD
The doctor said no drink for seventeen weeks
He wants to go out but he has to stay home
Sit in and watch colour TV on his own
He's just a stereotype
He drinks his age in pints
He drives home pissed at night
And he listens to his stereo
The tablets are finished, the cure is complete
He hasn't had a drink now for seventeen weeks
Seventeen pints, tonight is the night
It goes straight to his head, he ends up in a fight
Police chase him home through the dark rainy night
Fluorescent jam sandwich with flashing blue light
His mums waiting up, she hopes he's alright
But he's wrapped round a lamp post on Saturday night
He's just a stereotype
He drinks his age in pints
He has girls every night
He doesn't really exist
He drinks his age in pints
He has girls every night
But he doesn't really exist
He forgets the punchline when he tells a joke
He wants to stay out, he don't want to go home
'Til his nicotine fingers are stuffed down his throat
He drinks his age in pints
He drives home pissed at night
And he listens to his stereo
The doctor said no drink for seventeen weeks
He wants to go out but he has to stay home
Sit in and watch colour TV on his own
He drinks his age in pints
He drives home pissed at night
And he listens to his stereo
He hasn't had a drink now for seventeen weeks
Seventeen pints, tonight is the night
It goes straight to his head, he ends up in a fight
Fluorescent jam sandwich with flashing blue light
His mums waiting up, she hopes he's alright
But he's wrapped round a lamp post on Saturday night
He drinks his age in pints
He has girls every night
He doesn't really exist

This is about how stereotypes don't really exist but how people try to conform to stereotypes and do what they think is expected of them.
i.e., I'm young, I've got to get drunk and have a good time. I've got to show everyone how normal and fun-loving I am...
Fuck yeah! I hate stereotypes. I thought they were saying "he doesn't really exist" because he's not an individual, he's a clone, a number, he could be anyone else. I love this song man. fucking a!
not sure what stereotype they're talking about here though.
@DJgif The stereotype is of a classic english 'lad' if you will. All they do is go to the pub with their mates, get completely smashed and start fights. You will see them every night in city centres, and increasingly in small towns in the last few decades.
