[Verse 1]
They ruled like hell when I was twelve
But now they gather dust on my shelves
Three chords, maybe four
I don't like these bands anymore
Not worth a door fee or a three buck CD
'Cause all of these bands lack creativity
Skill's a waste of time, so being amateur's fine
But at least write your own lyrics from time to time

[Chorus 1]
'Cause I don't wanna be associated with
Such a fucking waste of electricity

[Verse 2]
Me, I'm a mall rat, caught in the Hot Topic trap
Spent your allowance on an anarchy hat
That you can take off when you're home with your mom
But with your punk friends you can put back on
You expect me to care that you dyed your hair
Do you think that makes you a rebel compared
To any other fashion follower?
I'm afraid you're still a trendy motherfucker

[Chorus 2]
And I don't wanna be associated with
Such a fucking waste of chemicals
[Bridge: Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Taking a stand against the man
While listening to the latest Crass ripoff band
Think you'll be activists with brainwashed politics
But everyone sees you're just self-important pricks
Protest the WTO on the right side, you know
Cause some punk rock scene told you so
Preaching to me about non-conformity
While you scream in unison, "save the trees"

[Chorus 3]
And I don't wanna be associated with
All your stupid punk bullshit!
