Parents and teachers could never understand
My disdain for their authority
Career and a future didn't interest me
I'd rather skate instead, i need to be free!
I'll skate or, i'll skate or, i'll skate or die!
Breaking my back just to make ends meet
A slave to my job for forty hours a week
But when 5 o'clock rolls around
I'm taking my board and i'm hitting the streets
I'll skate or, i'll skate or, i'll skate or die!
