so you wanna be a member wanna be a name
wanna be a local face wanna play the game
dancing through a time warp in your dinosaur trends
the limits of your mind are where the county line ends...
listen to the media present it as a fact
fall in your orders cuz you don't know how to act
travel on estranged cuz you don't know your own way
they'll get you in the end then you'll pay

cuz o.c. life is not the life for me
stupid little girls
oppressed society
o.c. life is not the life for me

pressures on your backs so you wanna be remembered
wanna have some fame
fighting to stay ahead a part of the game
common authority but don't get out of line
or they'll put you in the slammer you'll be doing some time
74 tattoed on my head i find myself labeled as a victim instead i fight all the rules i don't see the way
i'd rather be dead then pay the price that they say

cuz o.c. life is not the life for me
stupid little girls and egotistic fads
o.c. life is not the life for free

pressures on you back it'a all a bunch of crap
put the plastic right inside the machine
