[Verse 1]
 C                         G
Storming through the party like my name was El Niño
    Em                   D
I'm hanging out drinking in the back of an El Camino
     C                    G
As a kid, was a skid, and no one knew me by name
            Em              D
Trashed my own house party 'cause nobody came
        C                       G
Yeah I know I'm not the one you thought you knew back in high school
Em                   D
Never going, never showing up when we had to
   Am                           Bm
Attention that we crave, don't tell us to behave
     C                          D
I'm sick of always hearing "act your age"

[Chorus]
               C      G
I don't wanna waste my time
               Em       D
Become another casualty of society
           C      G
I'll never fall in line
               Em                 D
Become another victim of your conformity
         C    G
and back down
     Em    D
woah-oh
C   G
Em  D

[Verse 2]
N.C.
Because you don't
C                  G
Know us at all, we laugh when old people fall
    Em             D
But what would you expect with a conscience so small?
       C          G
Heavy metal and mullets, it's how we were raised
 Em               D
Maiden and Priest were the gods that we praised
         C                      G
'Cause we like having fun at other people's expense, and
 Em               D
Cutting people is just a minor offence then
     Am                      Bm
It's none of your concern, I guess I'll never learn
    C                          D
I'm sick of being told to wait my turn

[Chorus]
               C      G
I don't wanna waste my time
               Em       D
Become another casualty of society
           C      G
I'll never fall in line
               Em        D
Become another victim of your conformity
         G
and back down

[Solo]
G

[Bridge]
G       F#m      Em
  Don't count on me
   C
To let you know when
G       F#m         Em
  Don't count on me
           D
Cause I'll do it again
G       F#m      Em
  Don't count on me
         C
It's the point you're missin'
G       F#m      Em
  Don't count on me
C
  'Cause I'm not listenin'

[Bridge 2]
            G
Well I'm a   no goodnick lower middle class brat
     F
Back packed, and I don't give a shit about nothin'
        C
You be standing on the corner talking all that kufuffin
         G                            F
But you don't make sense from all the gas you be huffin'
              C               G
'Cause if the egg don't stain, you'll be ringing off the hook
Em                        D
   You're on the hit list, wanted in the telephone book
        C
I like songs with distortion, to drink in proportion
    Cm                                            D
The doctor said my mom should've had an abortion

[Chorus]
               G        D
I don't wanna waste my time
               C
Become another casualty of society
            Em     D
I'll never fall in line
               C
Become another victim of your conformity
         G        D    Bm        C
and back down
        (waste my time with the) casualty of society
Em         D   Bm   C
(waste my time with the) victim of your conformity
         C  G  Em D
and back down
    C        G  Em D
oh back down
C  G  Em D
C  G  Em D
