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 'cause you don't know how to act Travel on estranged 'cause you don't know your own way They'll get you in the end then you'll pay 'Cause O.C. life is not the life for me Stupid little girls, oppressed society O.C. life is not the life for me Pressure's 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 tattooed 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 'Cause O.C. life is not the life for me Stupid little girls and egotistic fads O.C. life is not the life for free Pressure's on you back It's all a bunch of crap Put the plastic right inside the machine
