All American

Combat boots and a scratched up record Signed by the hero of long ago A pair of vans and some torn up blue jeans This is his world, that's what he knows He's gonna find a girl who thinks like he does Gonna grow older but never old Heard his first punk song when he was 16 Minor threat I think it was 24 now - hates his job Used to know why - now it's just because Skates a lot - he likes the older wheels Big and green with independent trucks Had a girlfriend, they broke up last week She said his friends were useless fucks He's gonna find a girl who thinks like he does Gonna grow older but never old He's following a different drum For him these are the years of gold In high school the teachers thought he was stupid But he got A's when he wanted to in class He's watching out for the football jocks So far they haven't kicked his ass --- All American - Down by Law
