the moments are fleeting
his heart it's not beating
he wishes each day
would just end up his last
he dropped out of school
cause he thinks that it's cool
so they asked what he does
he said skateboards and punk rock
i refuse to be
what you want me to be
i'll go skate
i'll go chant
don't dare say that i can't
fuck the rules
fuck the norm
fuck the law
fuck conform
cause life's too inconsistent
to have it any other way
19 and reckless
the world is his playground
he'll smoke a joint
perhaps a bong
sleep all day
and at night he's gone
he'll ink his skin
bleach his hair
go each day without a single care
isolation
desolation
getting by with no motivation
i refuse to be
what you want me to be
i'll go skate
i'll go chant
don't dare say that i can't
fuck the rules
fuck the norm
fuck the law
fuck conform
cause life's too inconsistent
to have it any other way
