GOING TO A SHOW FROM A FLYER ON THE NET
LOTS OF COOL BANDS ARE PLAYING THERE
BUT NO ONE THAT I'VE MET
ASK A PUNK FOR THE ADDRESS
AND SHE SAID IT STARTS AT SIX
I'M RUNNING KIND OF LATE
HOPE I DON'T LOOK LIKE A DICK
OH NO

ROLL UP TO THE HOUSE
6:15 WHEN I ARRIVE
LOTS OF WALKING TALKING JORTS
SMOKING DRINKING OUTSIDE
THE FIRST BAND HASN'T STARTED
I'VE GOT TIME TO GRAB A BEER
BUT AN HOUR LATER
WHY THE HELL AM I STILL STANDING HERE

WHAT'S A NERVOUS LIL PUNK BOY
LIKE ME SUPPOSED TO DO
I JUST GOT TO THE GIG
AND I HAVEN'T GOT A CLUE
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON
THINK I'M DOING THIS ALL WRONG

I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD LEAVE
BUT NO ONE'S GONNA WANT TO BE MY PAL
IF I DON'T STICK AROUND FOR LONG

CASH IN THE BLENDER
MAKE MY WAY DOWNSTAIRS
NO ONE'S SAID A WORD
BUT I CAN FEEL THE LOOKS AND GLARES
SO I SIFT THROUGH THE CROWD
MAKE MY WAY TO THE BACK
AS THE FIRST BAND STARTS
ALMOST HAVE A HEART ATTACK

AS I'M HIT BY A WALL
OF SCREECHES AND CHUGS
AND I QUICKLY REALIZE
THAT I SHOULD'VE BROUGHT EARPLUGS
THE CROWD IS GETTING ROWDY
SO I JUST SIT BACK AND WATCH
I'M GETTING KIND OF SCARED
CAUSE I NEVER LEARNED TO MOSH

WHAT'S A NERVOUS LIL PUNK BOY
LIKE ME SUPPOSED TO DO
I JUST KEEP CHECKING MY PHONE
EYES STUCK TO IT LIKE GLUE
IN BETWEEN SETS
BEADS OF SWEAT DRIPPING DOWN MY NECK
AFRAID THAT IF I LEAVE
I'LL BE FILLED WITH REGRET

WHAT'S A NERVOUS LIL PUNK BOY
LIKE ME SUPPOSED TO DO
CAUSE I'M STILL HERE AT THE GIG
AND I STILL DON'T HAVE A CLUE
HOW TO DANCE TO ALL THESE SONGS
THINK I'M DOING THIS ALL WRONG

I THINK I'LL STICK AROUND
CAUSE NO ONE'S GONNA WANT TO BE MY PAL
IF I LEAVE BEFORE TOO LONG

WHAT'S A NERVOUS LIL PUNK BOY
LIKE ME SUPPOSED TO DO
FINALLY GOT OURSELVES A GIG
BUT I NEVER GOT A CLUE
NO ONE'S DANCING TO OUR SONGS
ARE WE DOING THIS ALL WRONG

IT DOESN'T MATTER THOUGH
CAUSE NOW I KNOW
THAT THIS IS REALLY REALLY
WHAT I WANTED ALL ALONG
