Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He's just a stereotype
He drinks his age in pints
He has girls every night
But he doesn't really exist
[Verse 2]
He spends his weekends with a load of blokes
He forgets the punchline when he tells a joke
He wants to stay out, he don't want to go home
Till his nicotine fingers are stuffed down his throat
[Verse 3]
He's just a stereotype
He drinks his age in pints
He drives home pissed at night
And he listens to his stereo
[Verse 4]
He blamed his finance when he caught VD
The doctor said no drink for seventeen weeks
He wants to go out but he has to stay home
Sit in and watch color TV on his own
[Verse 5]
He's just a stereotype
He drinks his age in pints
He drives home pissed at night
And he listens to his stereo
[Verse 6]
The tablets are finish, the cure is complete
He hasn't had a drink now for seventeen weeks
Seventeen pints, tonight is the night
It goes straight to his head, he ends up in a fight
[Verse 7]
The police chase him home through the dark rainy night
Fluorescent jam sandwich with flashing blue light
His mums waiting up, she hopes he's alright
But he's wrapped round a lamp post on Saturday night
[Verse 8]
He's just a stereotype
He drinks his age in pints
He has girls every night
He doesn't really exist
[Verse 9]
Me Uncle Joe, walkin' door
Fire, we never had a stereo
So I buy a little stereo and I watch Uncle Joe with a girl
So I said to this girl, step up on my yard, going to jiggle my stereo
[Verse 10]
Something goes like me go say
Me take the little girl in at me yard and show her little system
Hey girl look at a system but this is not my stereo
I want a little bass so you touch this
I want a little, and touch that
[Verse 11]
All I want is my stereo
All I want is my stereo
I don't drink beer
I don't drink something called whiskey cause I don't want to feel frisky
All I smoke is my herbs
Herbs
On my stereo
[Verse 12]
Things get much worse I can't even walk on the street
I don't feel at ease because while they are calling me the stereotype
He's the one who has got a stereo, stereo
My Uncle Joe told me about the stereo
Fire me, walking door, Uncle Joe
Uncle Joe
He never have a stereo
Walking door
Leave me girl
[Verse 13]
I won't want you, I don't need no drink
I don't want the whiskey to feel so frisky
All I want is my stereo
So here is what I say
Go downtown and buy you a stereo
If you don't want to drink or go to club
Cause until you're sober, you drink and drive you're bound to get killed
Oh, you start until you flat and you feel so relaxed
With your stereo
[Verse 14]
And don't forget the thing called, called it weed
Boy, I  don't need no speed to make me go fast
Just give little 45 and 33
Buy me stereo I want to be free
The stereo
I'm, I'm a stereotype
[Verse 15]
I'm a stereotype
And that's no joke, you got to feel it
Cause I will tell you, switch on tonight
I feel the stereo
More bass
Mucho
Leave me girl
I don't want this I just want my stereo
Aww music be all yours
[Verse 16]
Stereo
Stereo
Stereo
Stereo
Stereo
Stereo
[Verse 17]
Leave me
Just leave me and my stereo
'Cause I am a stereotype
And that's the way I want to be In don't want to be high
Move ya'll
[Verse 18]
Leave my stereo
Don't tell my stereo
