Give Me One Good Reason Lyrics

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 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 and 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 often
They don't want to end up there

So give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and often
They don't want to end up there

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.

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

Cover art for Give Me One Good Reason lyrics by Blink-182

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!
