Rolling Rock Lyrics
It’s 2AM, the lights not out,
I swear to God this time it’s not my fault.
Hey I’m late again and you’re still awake.
"Who were you out with?
Where you been?
You know your father and I,
Really can’t stand your friends," she said
I’ll be happy one day,
With a place of my own, yeah.
What’s the point of arguing,
When we yell back and forth all through the night.
No one can stop me from being myself,
I’m quite capable of that I can tell.
I don’t need your chemicals,
To make me feel the way I should.
CHORUS
Don’t waste my time with your idle threats.
You lost control, accept it.
Move on, I’m not your marionette,
You lost control.
Situation, once or twice,
Another try and I just don’t get it right.
One more excuse, yeah, and I’m out the door.
"Who were you out with?
Where you been?
You know your father and I,
Really can’t stand your friends," she said
I’ll be happy one day,
With a place of my own.
What’s the point of arguing,
When we yell back and forth all through the night.
No one can stop me from being myself,
I’m quite capable of that I can tell.
I don’t need those chemicals,
To make me feel the way you think I should.
CHORUS x 3
You lost control
Don't waste my time
You lost control
I swear to God this time it’s not my fault.
Hey I’m late again and you’re still awake.
"Who were you out with?
Where you been?
You know your father and I,
Really can’t stand your friends," she said
I’ll be happy one day,
With a place of my own, yeah.
When we yell back and forth all through the night.
No one can stop me from being myself,
I’m quite capable of that I can tell.
I don’t need your chemicals,
To make me feel the way I should.
Don’t waste my time with your idle threats.
You lost control, accept it.
Move on, I’m not your marionette,
You lost control.

Don't waste my time
You lost control

"Written in high school and titled after the six green bottles we so carelessly left out after rehearsal one afternoon. This was part of the seven or eight tunes we wrote that first summer while getting together in my parents basement everyday. The Plain White T's later recorded this song. I hear they went on to do other things - Adam"
