Verse
-----
w/ main chord pattern repeated 3 times

Well I'm a person just like you
But I've got better things to do

Than sit around and fuck my head
Or hang out with the living dead

Snort white shit up my nose
Or passin' out at all the shows

Cause I've got straight edge

I laugh at the thought of sniffing glue
