Head Machine American High lyrics

I was that kid sittin` over in the corner
Smiling with a shit-eating grin
And I was that kid smilin` In the back of class
`Cause I`m fryin on mescaline
I was that kid drinkin` 40`s on the bleachers
Getting drunk after school
Gettin` home too late, fallin` on my face
Way too drunk to skate
And actin` a fool

I was that kid never doing good at
Nothing except for maybe at P.E.
And I was that kid getting bullied by the
Filipinos rollin` with ABT
Me and my friends reading
The satanic bible thinking we should start a band
Cutting class to jam, cutting class to jam
In my dad`s garaged we learned to

Act a fool - don`t need to be cool
Pissed off too and breaking the rules
Mama told me stay in school
Don`t rock `n roll
But this is my american high

I was that kid crank-calling
Your girlfriend, couldn`t get a goddamn date
And I was that kid that was
Getting hella busted for pissin` on the bart train
I fuckin` hated school except for hanging out with my friends
The outcast that was startin` up a band
Fremont was the town, California-bound
Bay area sound, taught me to

Act a fool - don`t need to be cool
Pissed off too and breaking the rules
Mama told me stay in school
Don`t rock `n roll
But this is my american high

I`m that kid you tried to punk in english class
Now I`m in a band and your kissin` my...

Asteroids beat out homework
Slayer beat out Zeppelin
Not the sharpest noggin
That`s why I`m in this band

And what you got against me, I don`t need a new job
What you got against me, I`ll get by on my own
Tellin` me I`m never gettin` by from songs
I love it when your proven wrong

Act a fool - don`t need to be cool
Pissed off too and breaking the rules
Mama told me stay in school
Don`t rock `n roll
But this is my american high

Act a fool - don`t need to be cool
Break the rules
Cause this is my american high
