A kid who refused to respect adults
Gm
Wore spectacles with taped frames and a freckled nose
Dm
A corny lookin white boy, scrawny and always ornery
Gm
Cause I was always sick of brawny bullies pickin on me
Dm
And I might snap, one day just like that

I decided to strike back and flatten every tire on the bike rack
Dm
(Whosssssh) My first day in junior high, this kid said,

They say I never knew which way I was goin
E             A
But everywhere I go they keep playin my song
