Obvious Lyrics
They're scared of, his make-up
Tattoos and piercings
They say that, it's too bad
He won't amount to anything
They judge, by the way he looks (Woah)
The cover's not quite like the book
He's just, so misunderstood (Woah, woah woah)
'Cause it's so obvious
Theres nothing wrong with us
It's alright, we're alright
No we're not about to go and make the same mistakes your mother made
It's so obvious
So just stop, blaming us because
It's not wrong to beat 'em
No we're not about to go and make the same mistakes your mother made
No we're not about to go and make the same mistakes
She's 18, so sexy
She's never made love
So come friends, that saying
She sleeps with everyone
They judge, by the way she looks (woah)
The cover's not quite like the book
She's been, so misunderstood (woah, woah woah)
'Cause it's so obvious
Theres nothing wrong with us
It's alright, we're alright
No we're not about to go and make the same mistakes your mother made
It's so obvious
So just stop, blaming us because
It's not wrong to beat 'em
No we're not about to go and make the same mistakes your mother made
They judge, by the way we look (woah)
The cover's not quite like the book
We're just, so misunderstood (woah, woah woah)
It's so obvious
Theres nothing wrong with us
It's alright, we're alright
No we're not about to go and make the same mistakes your mother made
It's so obvious
So just stop, blaming us because
It's not wrong to beat 'em
No we're not about to go and make the same mistakes your mother made

To me, this sounds sort of like an anthem for all the kids, hell, all the people that go through life dealing with being "different", no matter what kind of different. And it's sort a slap in the face to all those people who said "[he'd] won't amount to anything" and to all those "friends" "saying she sleeps with everyone". It definitely reinforces the old adage "never judge a book by it's cover".
This is one of my favorite mainly because I remember them playing this song when they were just a little band. When I recently bought the CD that's the only time I recognized it...I was like, "Hey, I remember this song..."
i love this song! but i there are a few areas where i think the lyrics might be wrong here:
i think it's "we're not about to go and make the same mistakes you might have made"
also "it's not wrong to be young"
...but thats just me, i could be wrong :P great song though!
I agree on cabrewers corrections and I think that it is
"It's our life, we're alright"
They def. say alright tho
But yeah this is a pretty cool song
I agree with other corrections, and I also think it says,
"so-called friends"
instead of "so come friends"
yeh.. i herd the above mistake.. "so-called friends, they're saying"
quite a few mistaks..
great band though!!
just a correction....
It's so obvious Theres nothing wrong with us It's alright, we're alright No we're not about to go and make the same mistakes you MIGHT HAVE made It's so obvious So just stop, blaming us because It's not wrong to BE YOUNG No we're not about to go and make the same mistakes you MIGHT HAVE made
