Way back in 1982
My friends and me, we had some work to do
But still we stuck to our guns
And made a whole lot of fun
Of those who towed the line
As we all bent the rules
But now there's nothing left to do
Brakes failed and the car kept driving
Back-up plan fell through
Better call the cops
'Cause you know we're not stopping
Call the scrubs
When the quarterback chokes
And you're in trouble
Call the scrubs
'Cause it's shirts and skins
And we're in warm-ups
Call the scrubs
From the punk rock bars
To the high school halls,
A wealth of rising possibilities...
A royal society of weirdos,
Losers and freaks
Their fashion sense can be bad,
But that's O.K. with me
I'll tell you what I will do,
I'll pay my membership dues
And watch you spin your wheels
And lose your fuel
And now there's nothing left to do
Brakes failed and the car kept driving
Back-up plan fell through
Better call the cops
'Cause you know we're not stopping
Call the scrubs
When the quarterback chokes
And you're in trouble
Call the scrubs
'Cause it's shirts and skins
And we're in warm-ups
Call the scrubs
From the punk rock bars
To the high school halls,
A wealth of rising possibilities...
And the coach is there,
But knows not what to do
And newspaper says that the
First string sucks
But don't look now, Captain of the B-team's
Got a good plan and intends to keep it
Two men out, batters passed out,
Takes a look around
And the kids are screaming...
Call the scrubs
When the quarterback chokes
And you're in trouble
Call the scrubs
'Cause it's shirts and skins
And we're in warm-ups
Call the scrubs
From the punk rock bars
To the high school halls,
A wealth of rising possibilities...
Call the scrubs
When the quarterback chokes
And you're in trouble
Call the scrubs
'Cause it's shirts and skins
And we're in warm-ups
Call the scrubs
From the punk rock bars
To the high school halls,
A wealth of rising possibilities...
Possibilities...
