How I Became The Jerk Lyrics

How I Became The Jerk lyrics





Now here's a song for all of you 

Who hate the world the way I do 

And all the whiney old school farts 

And the sophomoric new school fools 

And the cliques that rise up in between 

The different sections of the scene 

Talking too loud and self too self absorbed 

To see their own idiocy 



But I'm full of it too... 

A bag of hot air just like you. 

Idealism burning the world down 

Like I'm better than all the suit and tie guys downtown 



Anybody can dress like an asshole 

Anybody can have an opinion 

Everybody can become what they hate 

so fuck everybody 



Sixth fucking grade 

The year that all the world's evil and trickle down 

pressured to "be somebody" manifested itself in my peer group 

Petty shit talking dress codes 

And early installments of class division 

And patriarchal value? 

I guess our parents were proud 



But hey look at us now! 

we've got the attitude down 

Silence everyone who doesn't think like me 

I'm a ship with no sails yea you might call me silly but... 



Anybody can dress like an asshole 

Anybody can have an opinion 

Everybody can become what they hate 

so fuck everybody.. except me of course 



Ah yes, the angry breakdown of the song 

All you before me must stand in awe of my 

Angry pasturising and angst ridden growls.. 

Genuflect my brothers and sisters and in-betweeners 

for I hold the microphone, and therefore 

I AM SOMEBODY 



I'm trying to sound convincing (listern to this guy yell) 

But I'm just not that angry (what's he tryin' to sell) 

My specialty, lip service (nobody listerns to you) 

Hide behind popular politics (no wonder you cleared the room) 



That's how I became the Jerk 

That's how I became the Jerk 

That's how I became the Jerk 

That's how I became the Jerk.
