Lyrics

Hey, you,
Is there something worth aspiring to?
And can it be found in a record store?
Well, it's not there anymore.
Just think of all the things we did,
We were different
Just like all the other kids.

Missy was a teen blue video star,
Tom took his life in his mother's car.
Milo went to college but you knew about that,
Rodney played our record,
GG started riots,
Laurie was always quiet.
She was battling depression.

Hey, you,
Is there something worth belonging to?
And can I pick it up for a song
Or a diploma or a worthy cause?
Well let me tell you that there's nothing wrong,
It's just that ones like us will never belong.

Jack wore a skirt, but he knew how to scrap,
Billy went to county on a class one possession.
Wendy went to school while her daddy shot smack,
Eugene kept a list,
Mugger was security,
Mary, she kept her purity.
We were all in it together.

Yellowed postcards on the wall
Serve to cover up a blankness after all,
So I will carry them along
Like a song when I'm gone, yeah.

Hey, you,
Is there something worth belonging to?
You know we've been here all along
Like a confederacy of the wrong.
And I confess it could be prejudice
But to you I dedicate this song,
Yeah to you.

Info from 'The Answer'
Song meaning Greg Graffin: "If you ever get a hold of our first EP, a 7", there's a guy with a jacket - a leather jacket - in the audience and it says, 'You don't belong' on it. That's where we got the title from. And it was sort of the attitude all through the punk era; none of us felt like we belong... More
