This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Mom and dad they quite don't understand it
All the kids they laugh as if they planned it
Why do girls wanna pierce their nose?
And walk around in torn pantyhose, oh yeah
I like the ones who say they listen to the punk rock
I like the the kids who fight against how they were brought up
They hate the trends and think it's fucked to care
It's cool when they piss people off with what they wear, oh yeah
So give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to and don't fit in
Hate the jocks, the preps, the hippie fuckin' scumbags
Heavy metalers with their awful pussy hair bands
Counting seconds until we can get away
Ditching school almost every single day, oh yeah
So give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to and don't fit in
Give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to and don't fit in
All the kids they laugh as if they planned it
Why do girls wanna pierce their nose?
And walk around in torn pantyhose, oh yeah
I like the ones who say they listen to the punk rock
I like the the kids who fight against how they were brought up
They hate the trends and think it's fucked to care
It's cool when they piss people off with what they wear, oh yeah
So give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to and don't fit in
Hate the jocks, the preps, the hippie fuckin' scumbags
Heavy metalers with their awful pussy hair bands
Counting seconds until we can get away
Ditching school almost every single day, oh yeah
So give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to and don't fit in
Give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to and don't fit in

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
i really dont give a shit if its punk or if im a "punk" just listen to the god damn song i cant belive people are arguing over fucking clothes n saying "if you listen to blink your a poser" what if I... ohhh i dont know... LIKE THIER MUSIC
This song always amuses me:
Don't hate us just because we're part of a group that thinks differently to you.
"Hate the jocks and preps, the hippie fuckin' scum bags Heavy metalers with their awful pussy hair bands"
Oh and by the way, we hate all groups that think differently to the way we do! It's so many alternative music fans at their core! If only this song was meant to be ironic...
Theres one thing this song is about. Being you. All those guys n gals who think theyre different coz they've decided 2 b a skater or a rapper. I'm not saying don't be a skater or rapper or woteva. but do wot u feel, not wot u think looks coolest.
They laugh at you because your different. You laugh at them because they're all the same.
You've brightened up my life forever. Thank you so much.
i agree with lindsay. Who cares if someone likes nsync AND blink... lol i happen to! nar i like ta listen to the sappy crappy love songs nsync has hehe and backstreet boys too for that matter. And westlife (a uk boyband). There you go, I'm being completely honest with ya all, That's individualism. I'm not afraid to like blink and pop stuff because it's just what i like. If you think i'm a poser or whatev for liking blink, then fuck ya cos i don't give a shit. I've liked blink since i was 12 years old and bought dude ranch. I am now 16. I'm allowed to like whatever the hell kinda music i like. I also happy to love Nelly, and i reckon some of ja rules songs are pretty good too. Ok.... I'm waiting for the usual 'oh you poser, you dont deserve to listen to punk music'. Well bring it on, I don't give a shit, at least I'm not afraid to be myself. I'm who I am and I wear what I wanna wear, do what i wanna do and LISTEN TO WHAT I WANNA LISTEN TO. bak to da topic.... lol what song are we discussing again? Oh right.... yep this song is awesome. counting seconds until we can get away, ditching school almost every single day,oh yeah love that line. Anyways please people, keep an open mind, don't chuck a psych just cause someone likes a variety of music. That's what we call DIVERSITY. It ain't a bad thing either.
hey i am a jock.. and proud lol but i dont act like it.. actually i dress kinda "punk" if thats what you wunna call it.. i love my skiny jeans and band shirts... people lable me as so many different things because i am so different... and like they say in the song.. i dont want to and dont fit in.. i skate with the skaters.. i surf.. and i play lacrosse... so what? i think you people should stop labling and all that shit.. it is so gay .. and it just makes you one of them... everyone is part of some group or group or w/e so why even care??
this song should be every punk kids anthem. i know it's mine! This is a great blink song.
music has changed for them but the message has always been the same
i love this song....once it made me cry but a lot of songs do that to me ..lol..
Wow? This song really made you cry? <br /> D:
Hate the jocks and preps,the hippie fuckin' scum bags Heavy metalers with their awfull pussy hair bands counting seconds until we can get away, ditching school almost every single day,oh yeah ....thats my faveorite line in a song ever...itz so rite!...it speaks to me
This song is amazing. I am totally bummed out that Blink has become popish... they were total punk before Enema of The State... but yeah, there still punk but more pop punk. That's my fav. line of any song too!!!! Its totally true... I can't stand all the preps, and jocks... but I have to admit I do like metal.. so I'll just go for the first line!
