combat boots and a scratched up record
  signed by the hero of long ago
  a pair of vans and some torn up blue jeans
  this is his world, that's what he knows
  he's gonna find a girl who thinks like he does
  gonna grow older but never old
  heard his first punk song when he was 16
  minor threat I think it was
  24 now - hates his job
  used to know why - now it's just because
  skates a lot - he likes the older wheels
  big and green with independent trucks
  had a girlfriend, they broke up last week
  she said his friends were useless fucks
  he's gonna find a girl who thinks like he does
  gonna grow older but never old
  he's following a different drum
  for him these are the years of gold
  in high school the teachers thought he was stupid
  but he got A's when he wanted to in class
  he's watching out for the football jocks
  so far they haven't kicked his ass
