I'm a person just like you
But I've got better things to do
Than sit around and fuck my head
Hang out with the living dead
Snort white shit up my nose
Pass out at the shows
I don't even think about speed
That's something I just don't need

I've got the straight edge

I'm a person just like you
But I've got better things to do
Than sit around and smoke dope
'Cause I know I can cope
Laugh at the thought of eating ludes
Laugh at the thought of sniffing glue
Always gonna keep in touch
Never want to use a crutch

I've got the straight edge



Welcome to the lamest song in the world. All hail Minor Threat, and the days of East Coast Hardcore, when everyone I knew was hardline straight edge and vegan. Pickin up change, hardcore shows, skateboarding in the parking lot behind the venue, crews of punks 20 deep, water fights in the summer, vegan potlucks, kickball, almost getting beatup for skating on the Martin Luther King monument on MLK day, rescuing lobsters from Wild Oats, spray paint, Giant "Go-Vegan" Gorillas, and on and on.

Yeah, Minor Threat is definitely one of those teen angsty bands you worship when you're young because they scream a lot and seem so pissed off, but then later on you wish they had a little more variety in their songs. I guess that's when you start listening to Fugazi.
