Track 15 - 3:32
This song takes a kind of tongue in cheek look at high school life. The cliques, the classes, the crowds, the clubs, the opportunities and how, somehow during all the chaos, we all seem to find ourselves. Or at the very least we become aware that we have no idea who we really are. And at least that's something. It's a serious song (as opposed to, say, The Mascot Song) but it's written in a fun way. Enjoy. Click here for audio.
I'm a band geek, I'm a jock
I'm a playwright - I'm a thespian
A hardcore academic
I'm the next valedictorian
And when I touch myself
I like to do it watching lesbians
But one thing that I'm not
Is someone who knows himself just yet
I'm so god damned popular
I'm lonely and I'm loving it
I'm getting hot for teacher
But I don't think she can handle this
I won an Oscar in drama
For dealing with all kinds of shit
Are people so self absorbed
Be yourself and just get over it
Come get it (you want it)
Forget it it (you'll see it)
Regret it (you need it)
Take 'em in, crank one out
Come get it (you want it)
Forget it (you'll see it)
Regret it (you need it)
I'm looking in, I'm turning out
I'm upside down, I'm inside out
It's hard (you know it)
It's hard (the hardest part)
It's hard (get through it)
It's hard
I'm Italian, I'm Irish
I'm German, I'm Lithuanian
But I'm not European
I'm a born-and-raised American
I'm all for country service
But in war times I'm Canadian
An equal rights activist
But I can't stand Vegetarians
I'm a slacker, I'm a prep
I kiss ass, I procrastinate
I think you're so beautiful
I'm a liar and I'm celibate
I'm all for interaction
But I don't think you should procreate
And here it comes, the last line
What's a word that rhymes with masturbate
Come get it (you want it)
Forget it it (you'll see it)
Regret it (you need it)
Take 'em in, crank one out
Come get it (you want it)
Forget it (you'll see it)
Regret it (you need it)
I'm looking in, I'm turning out
I'm upside down, I'm inside out
(here we go now)
I'm flying so fast
I'm burning
Can't slow down
I'm turning
I'm learning
I'm bringing it in
I'm slowing it down
I'm taking it in
It's spitting me out
Im settling in
I'm breaking it down
I'm taking it on
I'm burning out
Come get it (you want it)
Forget it it (you'll see it)
Regret it (you need it)
Take 'em in, crank one out
Come get it (you want it)
Forget it (you'll see it)
Regret it (you need it)
I'm looking in, I'm turning out
I'm upside down, I'm inside out
It's hard (you know it)
It's hard (the hardest part)
It's hard (get through it)
It's hard
