Machine Head - American High lyrics

I was that kid sittin´ over in the corner
Smiling with a shit-eating grin
And I was that kid smilin´ In the back of class
´Cause I am fryin on mescaline
I was that kid drinkin´ 40´s on the bleachers
Getting drunk after school
Gettin´ home too late, fallin´ on my face
Way too drunk to skate
And actin´ a fool

I was that kid never doing good at
Nothing except for maybe at P.E.
And I was that kid getting bullied by the
Filipinos rollin´ with ABT
Me & my friends reading
The satanic bible thinking we should start a band
Cutting class to jam, cutting class to jam
In my dad´s garaged we learned to

Act a fool - don´t need to be cool
Pissed off too & breaking the rules
Mama told me stay in school
Don´t rock ´n roll
But this is my american high

I was that kid crank-calling
Your girlfriend, couldn´t get a goddamn date
And I was that kid that was
Getting hella busted for pissin´ on the bart train
I f*ckin´ hated school except for hanging out with my friends
The outcast that was startin´ up a band
Fremont was the town, California-bound
Bay area sound, taught me to

Act a fool - don´t need to be cool
Pissed off too & breaking the rules
Mama told me stay in school
Don´t rock ´n roll
But this is my american high

I am that kid you tried to punk in english class
Now I am in a band & your kissin´ my...

Asteroids beat out homework
Slayer beat out Zeppelin
Not the sharpest noggin
That is why I am in this band

And what you got against me, I do not need a new job
What you got against me, I will get by on my own
Tellin´ me I am never gettin´ by from songs
I love it when your proven wrong

Act a fool - don´t need to be cool
Pissed off too & breaking the rules
Mama told me stay in school
Don´t rock ´n roll
But this is my american high

Act a fool - don´t need to be cool
Break the rules
Cause this is my american high
