Why can't I just be myself?
Don't make me out to someone else
Don't drink, don't smoke, and sure no sex
Is there something wrong with abstinence?

So what you're saying is I'm wrong
I shouldn't be writing this stupid song
I should be out and getting lost
Shooting up, forgetting cost

Well I think that you are wrong
I've been straight edge for so long
What throwing out something so good
Wouldn't constitute for my manhood

You drink, you drink
You piss it all away
You smoke, you smoke
You throw it all away
You cough, you cough
You let it fall away
I don't see why it's necessary

You take a hit and you make her cry
You throw a fit 'cause you lose your guy
You throw away, you throw away your life
Now the drugs run your pseudo-life

Well I think that you are wrong
I've been straight edge for so long
What throwing out something so good
Wouldn't constitute for my manhood

What's wrong for me must not be good
You're fucked up if you think I should
Smoke and drink, inhale and toke
I think that it's all a joke

Whatever you would like to do
I guess I'm different from you
I'll never destroy my life
By doing drugs in my spare time

Well I think that you are wrong
I've been straight edge for so long
What throwing out something so good
Wouldn't constitute for my manhood
