The Fauxriginals - Punk Enough

Have you ever been
Where you don’t fit in?
I’m a guessin' that you’re just like me
I can make a lot of friends
Though I’m not like them
Who the hell am I supposed to be?
I don’t have pierced lobes
But I wanted those
And a neck tat just for kicks
I always wanted a jacket
Covered in patches
Instead, I’ve got a nice mortgage
But I play guitar
And I write these songs
But I look just like
Some guy who loves Tom Delonge
I don’t look punk enough
To be punk enough
So that might make me punk
I don’t seem punk enough
To be punk enough
So I feel kinda stuck
I don’t have metal studs
Or leather duds
I’m not badass
Although I wish I was
Just punk enough
Punk enough
Maybe that makes me a punk
So if you saw me
Out on the street
What would your impression be?
Just a nerdy fool,
Douchebag, or tool
All those words describe me
Standing at a show
Just a plain john doe
Nobody has ever guessed
I’m about to play
And take the stage
And whine like all the rest
Into my mic
I sometimes say some bad words
But I look just like
some boring corporate bastard
I don’t look punk enough
To be punk enough
So that might make me punk
I don’t seem punk enough
To be punk enough
So I feel kinda stuck
I don’t have metal studs
Or leather duds
I’m not badass
Although I wish I was
Just punk enough
Punk enough
Maybe that makes me a punk
Maybe I'm already punk
No I
Am never gonna be
A fake version of me
So get up in line
With the ones that I’ve avoided
And always disappointed
Every time
I’m Never clean enough
Never mean enough
Never scene enough for thee
Enough off-key
No, I never fit in with the children who were still then athletes
I didn’t fit in with the bands who insisted I’d be
Another misfit, didn’t get it, based on what they could see
Was just a version of a person who could worsen their street
Credit, set it, and forget it, never said that I regret it
But I wish that my position in the vision of these bitches
stayed up out of my mind
I’m very content
With the way that I’ve spent
Most of my life
I’ve got a cover you can judge by
When the book don’t rely
On what’s inside
We’re so different we’re starting to feel the same
We’re different walks of life
We’re running the same race
We’re outcasts on the side
With slightly different tastes
But that’s what makes us punk
And that’s where I wanna stay
Though I’m not the typical punk rock display
I don’t look punk enough
To be punk enough
To be punk enough for you
I don’t feel punk enough
To be punk enough
To be punk enough for me
I don’t sound punk enough
To be punk enough
To be punk enough for you
Which makes me punk enough
To be punk enough
To be punk enough for...me
