In “Give Me One Good Reason,” Tom DeLonge asks for ‘one good reason’ to be another casualty of society. He critiques everyone around him and feels like an outcast; he believes punk rock is about hating everyone else, hence, he proceeds to judge everyone around him.
[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
Mom and Dad, they quite don't understand it
All the kids, they laugh as if they planned it
Why do girls wanna pierce their nose
And walk around in torn pantyhose? Oh yeah
[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
I like the ones who say they listen to the punk rock
I like the kids who fight against how they were brought up
They hate the trends and think it's fucked to care
It's cool when they piss people off with what they wear, oh yeah
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
So give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to, and don't fit in
[Verse 3: Tom DeLonge]

Heavy metalers with their awful pussy hairbands
Counting seconds until we can get away
Ditching school almost every single day, oh yeah
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
So give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to, and don't fit in
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to, and don't fit in
