Picking Sides lyrics

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

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

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

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
