Skupina byla založena v Ajaxu, na předměstí Toronta v létě roku 1996. Prvními zakládajícími členy byli kytarista a zpěvák Deryck Whibley a bubeník Steve Jocz. Ještě téhož roku se ke kapele přidali kytarista Dave Baksh a baskytarista Mark...
Neva the less am I dressed for the occasion
It's numba 32 not the utha situation
When the beat moves ya feet
Then don't change the station
Plannin' on leavin' on a permanent vacation
Well I'm a disasta
A microphone masta
Put on the tape and rock ya down blasta
It's not about the money 'cuz
I tell ya too much about sweatin' all the fuckas
In the bika shorts
Storming through the party like my name was El Ninio
When I'm hangin' out
Drinking in the back of an El Camino
As a kid, I was a skid and no one knew me by name
Trashed my own house party 'cause no body came
I know I'm not the one you thought
You knew back in high school
Never going, never showing up when we had to
It is attention that we crave
Don't tell us to behave
I'm sick of always hearing act your age
I don't want to waste my time
And become another casualty of society
I'll never fall in line
Become another victim of your conformity
And back down
Because you don't
Know us at all we laugh when old people fall
But what would you expect with a conscience so small
Heavy metal and mullets it's how we were raised
Maiden and Priest were the gods that we praised
Cause
We like having fun at other people's expense and
Cutting people down is just a minor offence then
It's none of your concern, I guess I'll never learn
I'm sick of being told to wait my turn
I don't want to waste my time
Become another casualty of society
I'll never fall in line
Become another victim of your conformity
And back down
Don't count on me, to let you know when
Don't count on me, I'll do it again
Don't count on me, it's the point you're missing
Don't count on me, cause I'm not listening
Well I'm a no goodnick lower middle class brat
Back packed and I don't give a shit about nothing
You be standing on the corner talking all that kufuffin
But you don't make sense
From all the gas you be huffing
'Cause if the egg don't stain
You'll be ringing off the hook
You're on the hit list wanted in the telephone book
I like songs with distortion, to drink in proportion
The doctor said my mom should have had an abortion
I don't want to waste my time
become another casualty of society
I'll never fall in line
Become another victim of your conformity
And back down
Waste my time with them
Casualty of society
Waste my time again
Victim of your conformity
And back down
