When I walk down the street in the middle of the day All the kids, they scare me saying "hey-hey-hey-hey, HEY-HEY-HEY-HEY!" And I wish I knew what their reasons are But either way with my walking I won't get far, no I won't get very far. I'm the new kid I'm the weird kid Out-of-sorts kid I'm the new kid! I don't know why, I just cannot talk It's why I'm not cool or popular, or even a big-big football jock! I don't think anyone knows my name Guess it's all just part of life's big-big-big-big-big-big nasty game! I'm the new kid I'm the weird kid Out-of-sorts kid I'm the new kid! I walked through a wall just the other day Then I put my headphones on as I walk-walk-walk-walk-walked away I don't think they even knew I was real Otherwise, why didn't they ask how I felt, how I felt, how I feel-feel-feel?

I got a job, I'm not a bum no more Work's not hard, but it's kind of a major bore The phone is ringing, and it's my job to answer it It won't stop ringing, I think I'm losing it I need a life! I need a life! I need a life! I need a - I play my music loud when I'm at home You should hear my neighbors moan If you were them you know you would But I don't care, cuz it makes me feel good I need a life! I need a life! I need a life! I need a - I got some friends, but you know they don't like me Whenever we hang out we end up fighting Maybe it's just my bad attitude Guess I don't have to be so rude I need a life! I need a life! I need a life! I need a life! I need a life! I need a life! I need a life! I need a life!

Got the pre-show jitters I'm afraid of the stage What if I'm too young? What if I act my age? Guess I gotta get tough I've done this before I know what to do And I know how to perform The guitar's in my hand and I don't wanna go on, and put on a show I know what to strum and I know what to sing, and I've gotta go Cause I'm gonna... rock this show! Rock this show! Rock this show! Rock this show! My fingers are on fire on the frets tonight Guess I'm doing okay Yeah, I'm playing alright And I caught an eye or two of some pretty girls, but what they do not know is I rule the world The guitar's in my hand, and I'm up on stage, and it's going okay And I know how to sing, and I know how to strum, and whenever we play. I'm always gonna rock this show! Rock this show! Rock this show! Rock this show! So put all your phones away, and listen to me Nothing else can be as good as what you see And we just played our last song, but they're screamin' for more Guess we're gonna play another five, cuz they need an encore The guitar's in my hand, and I just got off of the scary stage I knew what to sing, and I knew how to strum, and I acted my age And I always rock this show! Rock this show! Rock this show! Rock this show!

I can't stay at home anymore They said I had to learn They sent me back to school I'm starting to get concerned I'm starting to hate my life, and the decisions I can't make right I feel like such a tool I'm so hungry I could drool I could really use a coke, but all my money's up in smoke It's getting cramped in here, and I don't wanna go to college anymore

Everywhere I go is a new place to avoid The people always snicker/ the monstrous little girls and boys I wrap my mind around it, and wonder what I seek There's nothing really worth it. Just lemmings who would turn their cheeks I try to set examples, they get trampled underneath the crowds of "you don't matter!" With grains of salt I bear my teeth Pretend that they're your friends, and they'll play you for a ruse You'll never hit the bottom. You've always got something to lose. The world is cruel and it'll rip out your heart. Shove it down your throat, and try to tear you apart. It's a frozen wasteland/ a frosty demise It's always cold out here, and makes you colder inside And now I'm shivering! Shivering! And now I'm shivering! Shivering! And now I'm shivering! Shivering! Get beneath the covers, it's cold outside the sheets A chilly little pillow/ Hoping for warmth when you're asleep Speaking of sleeping soundly, that's something you won't do There's frostbite all around me. It haunts your dreams and nightmares too I always try to reason, but the season's never right Winter only argues/ a flash-freeze with a colder bite Am I just that revolting? Do I really make you sick? Lies are just as white as snow/ brains are only twice as thick The world is cruel and it'll rip out your heart. Shove it down your throat, and try to tear you apart. It's a frozen wasteland/ a frosty demise It's always cold out here, and makes you colder inside (x3) And now I'm shivering! Shivering! And now I'm shivering! Shivering! And now I'm shivering! Shivering!

We throw rocks at the house next door No one cares, cuz no one lives here At least no one does anymore So here we go, breaking windows without fear We dodge neighbors and garbage trucks Everything was so innocent back when We drank soda, cuz juice just sucks We drank caffeine now, and caffeine then! Fizzy bombs and sugar blasts These were the things we prided on the most Those days always went by so fast We raise our soda-pop bottles and make a toast Soda-pop is like dynamite It tends to explode inside of you Cream soda just tastes so right Orange soda! Cherry cola, and root beer too! Soda-pop rocket! Crashing through the skyline! Nothing can stop it! Soda-pop masters make it! Soda-pop rocket! Blasting through the skyline! Nothing can stop it! Soda-pop masters, make it mine! All mine! All mine...all mine. Break open my piggy bank Unload my money to the cashier Spent it all on soda I drank Hoping the soda rocket would appear Guzzel it down fast and hard That soda-pop just never seemed to last, but as I let down my guard Here it comes in a soda-pop rocket blast! Soda-pop rocket! Crashing through the skyline! Nothing can stop it! Soda-pop masters make it! Soda-pop rocket! Blasting through the skyline! Nothing can stop it! Soda-pop masters, make it! Make it! Make it! Make it mine!
