Wannabe
Confessions of a Punk Wannabe: Rejects, Rebellion, and Rock
Lyrics
I'm a reject and I sit to pee
I feel like an outsider and lack confidence.
But my Mom says I'm a catch
Despite my self-perceived flaws, my mom sees value in me.
Rip songs in my basement, play Freebird
I create music in my basement and enjoy playing the song "Freebird."
And my Dad smokes all my grass
My dad consumes all the marijuana I have.
Go give me a like, take the pain away
I seek validation and relief from pain through social media likes.
Loko in my bong, chug a tidal wave
I indulge in substances (possibly alcohol) using a bong to cope with emotions.
Play a fucking song, I will never make money
I play music passionately, even if it doesn't bring financial success.
I'm a wannabe, I'm a loser, man
I admit to being a wannabe and a loser, spending time in a punk rock band.
Spend my time in a punk rock band, that's me
I define myself by being part of a punk rock band.

I'm a wannabe, don't you know me fam
I acknowledge being a wannabe and seek recognition.
Got ten likes on my Instagram, that's me
I celebrate having a small following on Instagram.
A fake celebrity, I'm a wannabe
I recognize that I'm not a real celebrity but pretend to be one.
You're a poser, with your Nickelback tee
I criticize someone for being fake, wearing a Nickelback t-shirt.
Talking shit all goddamn day
I express frustration with someone who talks negatively all the time.
Like an asshole, send bobs and vegene
A reference to inappropriate messages, possibly reflecting online behavior.
And I don't care what you say
I don't care about others' opinions or comments.
Go give me a like, take the pain away
I still seek validation through social media likes.
Loko in my bong, chug a tidal wave
I continue using substances (loko in my bong) to cope.
Play a fucking song, I will never make money
I persist in playing music despite not making money from it.
I'm a wannabe, I'm a loser, man
I reiterate being a wannabe and a loser in a punk rock band.

A fake celebrity, I'm a wannabe

You're a poser, with your Nickelback tee
I criticize someone for posing with a Nickelback t-shirt.
They all tell me sell out and make that money
I am pressured to sell out and make money but resist.
Can't pay me, pay me, enough to kill Dead Bundy
The cost to compromise my authenticity is too high, referencing Dead Bundy.
I'm a wannabe, I'm a loser, man
I restate being a wannabe and a loser in a punk rock band.
