Surrounded By Assholes

Tell me exactly what does straight edge mean

It's time for the kids to come clean

All I see is self righteous arrogance

Is it overcompensation for a guilty conscience?

There's nothing punk about fascism and violence

Tongue in cheek with no life experience

Judging other people, a narrow list of friends

And how many of them will be true to the end?

True till death! but who gives a shit?

Personality counts first, don't be a labeled idiot

Straight edge or not! we can get along

Break down the walls, as one we stand strong

It's a shame how something positive has turned foul

Every show I'm at, I'm greeding by a scawl

I'm ashamed to be associated with all of this

You've given us a bad name, there's something you've missed

Straight edge is about freedom, about choice, about you

Not brass knuckles, hard moshing, or your crew

You choose for yourself, not for everyone

I choose for me and I choose to have fun

True till death! but who gives a shit?

Personality counts first, don't be a labeled idiot

Straight edge or not! we can get along

Break down the walls, as one we stand strong

Surrounded by assholes! give it a rest

You don't know shit about the kids, based on how they're dressed

Surrounded by assholes! and negativity

Not doing drugs shouldn't imply militancy!

I make my own choice!

It does not affect you!

I make my own choice!

So fuck you!
