Hey this Brandon but my friends call me Spike now
I just moved out of my parents' house in Danville
to this wicked warehouse in Oakland
Anyway I spent most of the day spare-changing on the avenue
I started out infront of the Med
but everyone kept saying I looked too young and healthy
so I went up the street to the Gap where all the
yuppie college kids shop
I was there until about 5:30 or 6
I scored about 10 bucks
so me and my girlfriend, you met her, she's from La Jolla
anyway, we got some money from her parents
so we're gonna stop by because

I need a fix(xs 4)

What's that?
Now's not a good time?
What do you mean there's none left?
Well what the fuck dude?
If I would have known that I would have gone to Concord
What do you mean go back to Concord then?
Dude you don't even know who you're talking to
Don't make me get all blackhawk on your ass
wait man I didn't mean that
C'mon dude, please?
Alright man
wait wait wait wait
Do you know anyone that's got any?
Do you got a number?
What do you mean you won't give it to me?
I didn't call for a shitty conversation
I called because

I need a fix(xs 4)

Man I got it rough
when drinking cough syrup
just ain't enough
On and on
I'm a teenage rebel
I'm fucking bored

Mom, this is Spi, I mean Brandon.
I got kicked out of my place in Oakland.
I don't really have any place to go so
I was just wondering if I could stay with you or Grandma or something?
I don't know.
My girlfriend dumped me she moved back to La Jolla, it's kind of a drag.
I guess she's gonna go back to school or something.
Anyway call me back.
Oh, one more thing Mom,
I was wondering if I could borrow $200 because

I need a fix(xs 4)

I'm a teenage rebel

    "heh this song is basically American Idiot in a nutshell" You're absolutely right. I've never really thought about that before, but it is. Wow.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
