Lyrics
The state wants me to skate today
The government encourages me to skateboard today.
They want my weekend spent in a safe and unproductive way
No threat to social order
No intention of disrupting social order.
This democracy needs happy voters
This democracy seeks content and happy voters.
The state wants me to waste away
My time under the 95 freeway
-A little park a small price to pay
Skateboarding serves as a distraction from rebellious thoughts.
Keep my mind away from one day overthrow
I got new skate shoes down at the skate shop
Purchasing new skate shoes from the skate shop.
It's nice to have time to kill so i go out
Enjoying the luxury of having time to spend leisurely.
Out in the sunshine i feel
Experiencing the outdoors and sunshine.
So new i swear it's unreal
Feeling so refreshed that it seems unreal.
When i'm on my board i feel like
On the skateboard, everything seems alright, and anger dissipates.
Everything will be alright and
A sense that the world is okay while skateboarding.
The anger goes away
Anger diminishes, contributing to a positive outlook.
I guess the world is ok
Expressing a belief that the world is indeed okay.
Oh i know i might have gone insane
Acknowledging a potential descent into insanity.
My ankles bleed i'm addicted to the pain
Oh you've got to move that skateboard down the lane boy, because
A call to move the skateboard to avoid disturbing working people.
All these working people gotta be up in the morning
Working people need sleep, and noise disrupts them.
And you're making too much noise so we built this government skate park
A government-built skate park to address noise concerns.
The state wants me to skate and pay
The government expects me to skate and financially contribute.
For branded shit on layaway so
Is this a nuisance or
-Another corporate sport
-Everything i want to burn is
-Obfuscated when i learn that
-They built a place for me
-Where i can play anarchy
-I can tell myself i haven't changed
-That the rebel in me can't be tamed
-But i've got bills to pay before i hit the pavement, because
-All these working people gotta pay their taxes so that we can
-Start another war and build a government skate park
-(I want you to know)
-Yea i want you to know
-There are no rules
-You'll end up fine
-(I want you to know)
-You'll end up fine
-Yea i guess i'll skate my life away
-Find out what it means to be free
-I guess i'll skate my life away
-Find out what it means to be me
-Yea
