All My Friends Are Drug Addicts
Reckless Rebellion: Tales of Dropout Days and City Burning Nights
Lyrics
All my friends are dropouts
All of my friends have dropped out of school.
And all my friends are drug addicts
All of my friends struggle with drug addiction.
And all our days are spent skating and bumming cigarettes
Our days are spent skateboarding and casually asking for cigarettes.
We were out shoplifting for most of yesterday
We were engaged in shoplifting for most of the previous day.
I guess that makes us kleptomaniacs
This action could be seen as indicative of kleptomania.
But what the fuck does that mean anyway
The singer questions the significance of being labeled as kleptomaniacs.
All my friends look like shit
The appearance of my friends is not conventionally attractive.
And they always got black eyes
My friends frequently have black eyes, possibly from physical altercations.
And it's fuck jocks and skate or die
Rejecting mainstream ideals, emphasizing a skateboard lifestyle over conforming to societal norms.
And I'd rather puke and pass out than get a PHD
Expressing a preference for vomiting and passing out over pursuing a higher education degree (PHD).
I'd rather puke than get a PHD
Reiteration of the preference for vomiting over obtaining a PHD.
And I hope that no one ever gets a real job
Desire for friends to avoid traditional employment.
And no one ever leaves this shitty town
A wish for everyone to remain in the current, presumably unpleasant, town.
And I wish for this shit to last for fucking ever
Expressing a desire for the current state of affairs to endure indefinitely.
And tonight we're gonna burn the cities down
An intention to metaphorically destroy urban areas during the night.
All my friends are getting intoxicated at the bowl
Friends are indulging in intoxication at a specific location, possibly a skateboarding bowl.
And it's nihilism and alcohol
Embracing nihilism and alcohol as components of a good time.
And if to have a good time
Suggesting that being inebriated is the only way to have a good time.
We can only be fucked up
If enjoyment requires being messed up, then all are considered messed up.
Then I guess we are all fucked up
A recognition and acceptance of collective dysfunction.
And I hope that no one ever gets a real job
Reiteration of the desire for friends to avoid conventional employment.
And no one ever leaves this shitty town
Reiteration of the desire for everyone to stay in the current town.
And I wish for this shit to last for fucking ever
Reiteration of the desire for the current state of affairs to endure.
And tonight we're gonna burn the cities down
Reaffirmation of the intention to metaphorically burn down cities during the night.
And tonight we're gonna burn the cities down
Reiteration of the intention to burn down cities during the night.
And tonight we're gonna burn the cities down
-And tonight we're gonna burn the cities down
