The Scene Lyrics by Screeching Weasel

Emo

1999

I am here, not by choice but by my birth
For so many years I doubted my own worth
It's no coincidence I ended up where I'm at now
I'm here to tell you that you can't kick me out
'Cause I'm a permanent part of this society
The blackest sheep amongst a crowd of them
I'm not the glue that holds this scene together
But I have arrived here by way of dirty looks
And rejection and head-scratching shrinks
And frustrated parents and teachers
Just like so, so many did before me and will after me
Go ahead and laugh at me
You can afford to laugh, I can't
'Cause this is all I have
I'm not proud, I'm not ashamed
But this is all I have
And it's good enough for me
And I am through following your truth
I'm making my own rules

[Spoken]
I make my own rules

My own world
My own rules
My own world

My own world
My own rules
My own world

This is
My own world
My own rules
My own world

This is
My own world
My own rules
My own world

This is
My own world
My own rules
My own world

This is
My own world
My own rules
My own world

This is
