So i wanna be a member and i wanna be a name And i wanna be a local face and play the social game Dancing through a time warp in your dinosaur trends The limit of your mind is what they're counting on all ends Listen to the media present it as a fact Fall in your orders cuz you don't know how to act Travel on estranged cuz you don't know your own way They'll get you in the end then you'll pay Cuz o.c. life is not the life for me Stupid little chicks and, egotistic boys O.c. life is not the life so free Pressures on my back And artificial joys . . . for you girls and boys Wanna be a member, wanna have some fame Fighting to stay ahead a part of the game Combat authority but don't get out of line Or they'll put you in the slammer you'll be doing some time 714 tattooed on my head I find myself labeled that i'm a victim instead I fight all the rules i don't see the way I'd rather be dead then pay the price that they say Cuz o.c. life is not the life for me Stupid little girls and egotistic boys O.c. life is not the life for free Pressures on my back And artificial joys . . . for you girls and boys Put the plastic back in the machine
