Well Their opinion they can take and shove
Intro X 2
Somewhere young rebels will meet tonight
Somewhere skateboarders and straightedgers will unite
They don't need no magazine that is filled with hate and lies
They get enough from the world around them
They are young but they are wise
But negativity's easy
You just fire and walk away
And it's armchair in general
Who lives to fight another day
Well They're just like new dictators trying to tell us what to love
Well Their opinion they can take and shove

But do they really think kids are such fools?

Or do they even care?
