LOOK WHAT MUSIC DID TO ME

MADE ME GROW MY HAIR AND THEN CUT IT SHORT
PIERCE MY NOSE AND LIVE LIKE DIRT
MADE ME ALWAYS HATE TO WORK
MADE ME WEAR SHOES THAT HURT
MADE MY PANTS A SIZE TOO TIGHT
MADE MY HEARING LESS THAN RIGHT

LOOK WHAT MUSIC DID TO ME

MADE MY MOM THINK I WAS LOST
MADE MY SISTERS THINK I ROCKED
MADE A FEW GIRLS THINK I WAS HOT
THEN IT MADE THEIR PARENTS THINK I SMOKED POT
MADE ME HAPPY WHEN I WAS NOT
BUT IT ALSO MADE ME CRY AND STEW AND ROT

LOOK WHAT MUSIC DID TO ME

MADE ME SOMETIMES THINK I WAS COOL
I SMOKED AND DRANK AND DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL
MADE ME STAY OUT 'TIL HALF PAST TWO
MADE ME THINK I WAS BETTER THAN YOU
MADE ME GO INTO PAWNSHOPS AND WALK OUT BROKE
WITH BANKRUPT DREAMS AND SIX STRING HOPES

LOOK WHAT MUSIC DID TO ME

MADE ME KNOW ABOUT CHORDS AND STRINGS AND PICK-UPS
MADE ME ASK WHAT KIND OF AMP YOU'VE GOT
MADE ME CURSE AND PREACH A LOT
ABOUT PUNK ROCK AND WHICH BANDS WERE NOT
MADE ME RAISE MY VOICE WE ALMOST FOUGHT
ABOUT VAN HALEN BEING COOLER WITH DAVID LEE ROTH

LOOK WHAT MUSIC DID TO ME
