Derision ain't so bad, it makes me glad I'm tougher

For failing all that I have

Take the map and tear it up

We'll find our way anyway

We'd never gotten this far if we'd followed the road

If you listen close to most advice you'll never get anywhere

Take it from myself because, boy, I ought to know

I was the kindergarten kid with wrinkled clothes

I dreaded school more than the chicken pox and so I'd go

"Hey Mom, I'm really feeling sick,

A bit feverish and I know

That if I go to school today,

I'll probably die on the way from this cold!"

Take the map and tear it up

We'll find our way anyway

We'd never gotten this far if we'd followed the road

If you listen close to most advice you'll never get anywhere

Take it from myself because, boy, I ought to know

'69 Malibu and a date I should have missed

Warm beer and time to kill and a girl to share it with

It's really late, I sneak around to the gate

To bust her out the window

Wearing lots of black and blending into all the shadows

We spend half of the night getting into a fight

I wanna make up and she goes

"Will you take me home?" (NO!)

Let's hear it for derision, for indecision,

Let's hear it for failure

Let's hear it for derision, for indecision,

Let's (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)

Let's hear it for derision, for indecision,

Let's (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)

Let's hear it for derision, for indecision,

Let's (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)

Let's hear it for derision, for indecision,

Let's (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)

Let's hear it for derision, for indecision,

Let's (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)

Yeah (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)

(nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
