No it ain’t the way that your hair hangs down<\/em>
\nAnd you dance like a clown<\/em>
\nWe just don’t like you around<\/em><\/p>\n

You were a new waver, it was 1983<\/em>
\nI was new on the scene<\/em>
\nI just wanted everyone to like me<\/em><\/p>\n

So I told them that we’re not friends<\/em>
\nAnd I thought you were weird<\/em>
\nWhat a two-faced thing to do<\/em><\/p>\n

And you held your head high<\/em>
\nYeah you held your head high<\/em>
\nWhen you walked down my street<\/em>
\nOh no<\/em><\/p>\n

My birthday party you just showed up<\/em>
\nWe were so stuck up<\/em>
\nWe just wanted to be mean<\/em><\/p>\n

Yeah there goes that girl with the cheap guitar<\/em>
\nShe’s a punk rock star<\/em>
\nShe’s a dying art<\/em><\/p>\n

And you held your head high<\/em>
\nYeah you held your head high<\/em>
\nWhen you walked down my street<\/em><\/p>\n

And you rolled your eyes to the sky<\/em>
\nYeah you rolled your eyes to the sky<\/em>
\nAnd you don’t feel a thing<\/em><\/p>\n

And you held your head high<\/em>
\nYeah you held your head high<\/em>
\nWhen you walked down my street<\/em>
\nOh no<\/em><\/p>\n

No it ain’t the way that your hair hangs down<\/em>
\nAnd you dance like a clown<\/em>
\nIt’s the middle school frown<\/em><\/p>\n
