Give Me One Good Reason (blink-182)

Shannon’s Perspective:

“They don't want to and don't fit in”

In my life I have found I am most drawn to people who feel the same way. People who march to the beat of their own drum and walk the road less traveled. These are my people; they are interesting and fun. I was lucky enough to marry someone like this and raise two beautiful children to believe in themselves enough to do the same.

Larry’s Pick: Give Me One Good Reason

How could you not love the name of this album?

Take Off Your Pants And Jacket

I mean the toilet humor is sincerely appreciated from my perspective. I am most definitely a closet-punk. This is the part of my personality I like the best.

Being a quiet, stoic introvert this is the line I relate to the most:

They don't want to and don't fit in

Just because I do it to provide for myself and my family doesn't mean I want to. Believe me when I say there were a lot of professional settings where I didn't fit in. And as long as it wasn't career ending, I couldn't have cared less.

I was always true to myself and continue to be - punk indeed...

Give Me One Good Reason
Blink-182

Mom and dad, they quite don't understand it
All the kids, they laugh as if they planned it
Why do girls wanna pierce their nose
And walk around in torn pantyhose? Oh, yeah

I like the ones who say they listen to the punk rock
I like the kids who fight against how they were brought up
They hate the trends and think it's fucked to care
It's cool when they piss people off with what they wear, oh, yeah

So give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to and don't fit in

Hate the jocks, the preps, the hippie fuckin' scumbags
Heavy-metalers with their awful, pussy hairbands
Counting seconds until we can get away
Ditching school almost every single day, oh, yeah

So give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to and don't fit in

Give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to and don't fit in
