Intro: One. Two. One Two Three Four! verse 1: I remember when I was a young man My mama took me to the store And I was scared out of my mind As I stared at that dressing room door I was like: "What if the pants are too bright, too dark, too baggy, too light, too big, wrong cut, or too tight And Mom was like: "Just be yourself, son Whatever you choose will be right" verse 2: Well, it's like she knew my very soul The pants I bought that day would change my life I left that store with a uniform That I was wearing when I met my wife And at my first punk-rock show And when I touched my first boob And the first time I read Thoreau I did it all in my t-shirt and jeans That's right, it doesn't mean anything People who know me know That I try not to say too much just with my clothes And if you wanna get to know me, man We're gonna have to talk So that you can find out who I am verse 3: Well, jeans are pretty great They're durable and comfortable They're pants made out of plants So it's hard to argue they're unethical And I shirt can say a little or a lot I'm a fan of unironic images of things I like Like giraffes or my YouTube friends or pants Or chickens, Jesus, nerds or bikes verse 4: But if you really wanna know what I love Most about this wardrobe is that It that tells you very little about what lies beneath these clothes Just by looking at me You would never know if I'm a Thousandaire or a billionaire I wanna tell you with my mouth Not with the clothes I wear + Solo Bridge: Well I think it's odd how when we rebel We put on uniforms Like eyeliner or fancy pants That come factory pre-torn It's easy to say That a guy must be a certain way Just because he dresses offbeat And a sub-cultural shortcut Might be what he's goin' for But it's always gonna be incomplete Yeah, we're never really ever gonna know what that means Which is why I wear T-shirt and jeans That's right, it doesn't mean anything People who know me know That I try not to say too much just with my clothes And if you wanna get to know me, man We're gonna have to talk So that you can find out who I am (4x)
