I want to be in a punk rock band I want to hold your hand Take this message back to your old man I want to be in a band And this time, I'm gonna do right I'm gonna throw the showcase showdown Throw down my pride Throw down my pride I want to make it out of my hometown I want to leave right now I want to interrupt your wedding vows Just to say I'm headed out Something to grow on You'll never know the half what I missed out on In the backseat of your parent's car And then they broke my throne and threw away my credit card I was a lonely kid I tried so hard I tried so hard Take this message back to your old man I want to be in a band
