| Standing off with a girl named Rose
|
| The tattoo on her neck says «so it goes»
|
| She’s dying for the chance just to let us know
|
| That much like her, we’re being sold
|
| Well you don’t have to be a punk if you don’t want to
|
| You don’t even have to date girls if you don’t want to
|
| You don’t have to be Kurt Cobain if you don’t want to
|
| You don’t have to listen to The Germs if you don’t want to
|
| Every place is the same
|
| So you moved to Minneapolis and changed your name
|
| Now you’re watching TV in a scummy bar
|
| Thinking «what is this shit?», there’s no such thing as fun
|
| Well you don’t have to be anyone if you don’t want to
|
| You don’t have to get a job if you don’t want to
|
| You don’t have to read Ayn Rand if you don’t want to
|
| You don’t have to listen to The Smiths if you don’t want to
|
| The truth is nothing but a waste of time
|
| A hung up old suit and a runaway bride
|
| The only thing that should frighten you is nothing
|
| Kicking around, building confidence for something
|
| Well you don’t have to be a punk if you don’t want to
|
| You don’t even have to date boys if you don’t want to
|
| You don’t have to be fooled twice if you don’t want to
|
| You don’t have to listen to me if you don’t want to, no |
