I'm a person just like you
But I've got better things to do
Than sit around and fuck my head
Hang out with the living dead
Snort white shit up my nose
Pass out at the shows
I don't even think about speed
That's something I just don't need

I've gone straight edge

I'm a person just like you
But I've got better things to do
Than sit around and smoke dope
Because I know that I can cope
Laugh at the thought of eating ludes
Laugh at the thought of sniffing glue
Always gonna keep in touch
Never want to use a crutch

I've gone straight edge
I've gone straight edge
I've gone straight edge
I've gone straight edge

    this is a good song. it definetly gave me direction and a sense of belonging when i was like 15. before this i didnt know what sXe was i just knew drinkin and smokin werent for me. then a couple of kids told me about sXe and now im almost 19 (wow im gettin old) and have gone through a year of college without any alcohol or cigs touching me lips. also for my senior quote in my year book i choose "always gonna keep in touch never gonna use a crutch ive got the straight edge" which im glad to say i still think is a fitting quote. stay sXe.
