Lyrics for Give Me One Good Reason as interpreted by Castor

Give Me One Good Reason Lyrics
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 you 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 this 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 and preps,the hippie fuckin' scum bags
Heavy metalers with their awfull pussy hair bands
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 often,
they don't want to end up there

So give me one good reason,
why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and often,
they don't want to end up there

This song is amazing. I am totally bummed out that Blink has become popish... they were total punk before Enema of The State... but yeah, there still punk but more pop punk. That's my fav. line of any song too!!!! Its totally true... I can't stand all the preps, and jocks... but I have to admit I do like metal.. so I'll just go for the first line!

Theres one thing this song is about. Being you.
All those guys n gals who think theyre different coz they've decided 2 b a skater or a rapper. I'm not saying don't be a skater or rapper or woteva. but do wot u feel, not wot u think looks coolest.

They laugh at you because your different. You laugh at them because they're all the same.

brett w...you should be more open-minded if that's how you interpret "punk rock"...you preach to "do what's in your heart" and yet u go on to say people who wear certain clothes can't listen to this music. the music we listen to and clothes we wear should not coexist...if u strive for individualism, how come you don't think punk fans are followers? there is more to a person to how they look or their taste in music.

one more ignorant message that needs to be cleared, "they don't appreciate it"....music is appreciated whether someone is a die hard fan, likes the message/lyrics, or simply enjoys the song. who gives a flaming shit whether they like n sync as well.

more positive note: great fucking song, shame some people are too selfish

i agree with lindsay. Who cares if someone likes nsync AND blink... lol i happen to! nar i like ta listen to the sappy crappy love songs nsync has hehe and backstreet boys too for that matter. And westlife (a uk boyband). There you go, I'm being completely honest with ya all, That's individualism. I'm not afraid to like blink and pop stuff because it's just what i like. If you think i'm a poser or whatev for liking blink, then fuck ya cos i don't give a shit. I've liked blink since i was 12 years old and bought dude ranch. I am now 16. I'm allowed to like whatever the hell kinda music i like. I also happy to love Nelly, and i reckon some of ja rules songs are pretty good too. Ok.... I'm waiting for the usual 'oh you poser, you dont deserve to listen to *punk* music'. Well bring it on, I don't give a shit, at least I'm not afraid to be myself. I'm who I am and I wear what I wanna wear, do what i wanna do and LISTEN TO WHAT I WANNA LISTEN TO.
bak to da topic.... lol what song are we discussing again? Oh right.... yep this song is awesome.
counting seconds until we can get away,
ditching school almost every single day,oh yeah
love that line.
Anyways please people, keep an open mind, don't chuck a psych just cause someone likes a variety of music. That's what we call DIVERSITY. It ain't a bad thing either.

this song is brilliant and my favourite by Blink...... reagan_69, as far as the "poser" label goes, i side with you totally, and i think it's unfair to be judged based on the fact that you may like a strange combination of bands- heck i do too. i think that people who call others posers, are themselves conforming by making fun of those who don't fit in with their ideal of a punk or whatever. at the end of the day, music is there to be enjoyed so what the hell matters if you like blink and greenday or blink and britney! (who would do that, by the way)........
oh yeah and back to the song, my favourite bit is
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

the whole 1st verse actually (lol). well keep smiling and good on you all for liking such a cool band. sure there may be others out there whom are more talented or whatever, but they haven't written and sung this song! :P

This is such a badass song. It's all about being yourself and not wanting to be like everyone else. It's such a punk, noncomformist message. It's great. Everyone else is different from us, it's not like we're different from them.

This, like pretty much everyone else, is one of my life anthems. Way to go Blink, on another amazing song. As for strange combinations of taste in music...who cares. If someone likes 2 totally different genres, go right ahead. I know my taste in music isnt REALLY diverse (pretty much all rock and a bit of rap) I can't say that people can only like one genre of music...oh whatever. I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore...Bye bye.

i hate it when ppl judge you because of what you wear...im from a family with a bit of money, but we're not rich, but i can afford some things that other ppl cant, which i am NOT saying makes me any better of a person, so please dont get that idea...but anyways, i wear nice clothes n all, n for some reason ppl think that automatically makes me a 'prep' (i cant stand preps...they're usually fake, and care about no one but themselves...totally not me..) and they assume that i listen to pop n stuff like that...and thats not me at all...i listen to rock mainly with a bit of rap, and contemporary christian music in the mix as well...i often have to 'prove' in one way or another that i am mainly a punk rocker, and that kinda offends me....dont judge ppl by what they wear...it has nothing to do with what they listen to...but now i cant remember why i started talkin about this anyways...so im gonna go now...

Hey gone punk 13,
You're retarded. The Enema of the State came out before Take Off Your Pants and Jacket. So if you think that blink 182 sold out, why are you writing stuff about their songs

Ok, I really don't think its about being "punk". Because how can you be a type of music. I just think its about them when they were in highschool and all of their friends. This song perfectly explains me and my friends, even before I started really getting into Blink 182. This song completely pulled me in, I have never heard a song that better explained my friends and I. Its just a wickedly awesome song.
