Can't afford being weak,
If you’re a freak,
Can't afford being ugly,
If you’re a chick.
Can't afford being low,
If you’re a junkie, Can't afford being human,
If you’re a monkey.
Can't afford being straight,
If you are a queer,
Can't afford being drunk,
If you have some pills.
Can't afford thinking twice,
If you want some spice...
Can't afford being nice -
You'll pay double price...
Can't afford just being yourself...
Can't afford being emo,
If you meet a cop,
Can't afford piercing lips,
If you’ve got a job.
Can't afford being sad,
Playing ska-punk...
Can't afford looking bad,
Even if you’re crunk.
Being yourself...
