Picking Sides lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, just 'cause I drink don't mean
I don't hate stupid drunks
But just 'cause I'm singing it
That don't mean sh*t, that don't mean that I'm not one
But those j*rks by the kegs
They aren't leaving me no ground to stand

[Chorus]
So if we're picking sides
I guess that I hate the policeman
And the white man tonight

[Verse 2]
And well, I've been thinking things
Thinking things that I just hope aren't true
Like maybe you don't choose punk rock
Because punk rock chooses you

[Verse 3]
You know, I've seen the same bands
So many dozens of times
But with dozens of different names
Across dozens of different state lines
And I won't always admit it, but I think
That the world's better off with them in it
[Chorus]
And so if we're picking sides
I guess that I am
For every sh*tty, three-chord, high school punk band
Oh yes I am
Oh yes I am
