What Did You Expect? - High School Sucks Lyrics

A different lesson everyday
Put a record on push play
Don't forget to sing along
And learn the meaning in these songs
Listening to Wasted Youth
Was the moment I learnt the truth
NOFX, Dead Kennedys
Bad Religion, all for me

So here I am and you can try
To change the person deep inside
Sell my records, clean me up
I'm still a punk, I won't shut up
Propagandhi and The Clash
Drunken Ramblings, Anti-Flag
Forever lyrics in my head
Without punk I'd rather be dead

Here's to all I learned from punk rock
Here's to all my parents taught me
Didn't get my values from what I saw on the TV
Here's to the all the things that made me
Raised on punk, these building bricks
Are the foundations that saved me
Forged my values and politics

I'll support our record stores
And protest against your wars
Buy an LP at a show
This music taught me all I know
Punk In Drublic, after all these years
Hasn't aged so have no fear
London Calling, Silhouettes
Gross Profit, yeah, Straight Ahead

So here I am, I'm not the same
I'll always rise against the grain
Educated by the scene
That I grew up following
The Descendents and The Scuts
Rancid, Vandals, all that stuff
Forever lyrics in my head
Without punk I'd rather be dead

Here's to all I learned from punk rock
Here's to all my parents taught me
Didn't get my values from what I saw on the TV
Here's to the all the things that made me
Raised on punk, these building bricks
Are the foundations that saved me
Forged my values and politics

Here's to all I learned from punk rock
Here's to all my parents taught me
Didn't get my values from what I saw on the TV
Here's to the all the things that made me
Raised on punk, these building bricks
Are the foundations that saved me
Forged my values and politics
