Don't claim edge if you won't make the haul You call it quits before you've started at all Straight one day, drunk the next Make up your mind, because you're a mess Fake edge is what I see Fake edge - false sincerity Straight edge is for life Straight edge - no compromise Falling prey to the older bands' mistakes
Going soft, turning out to be fakes Not what you say, but years from now what you do Shows everyone what you believe to be true Selling out misdirects the youth Selling out compromises the truth Together we'll stay clean and keep on having fun And show that "straight for life" is more than just until 21
