lyrics

Sitting in the back row with my glasses on
Getting all the letters on the chalkboard wrong

Lookin’stiff in khaki with a bow tie yawn
Always watching momma mow the growing lawn

Brother F is crying from a bullies’ rock
I’m the lone avenger with revenge to plot

Western hills western hills western hills
I’m there still

All I wanted was to fit in because
That’s what the others did
That’s what the others did

Sitting on the blacktop at the end of class
Betting that the jam was better than the clash

Western hills western hills western hills
I’m there still

Under cover ear pressed to the radio
Cutting off transmission of guitar solo

Western hills western hills western hills
I’m there still

All I wanted was to fit in because
That’s what the others did
That’s what the others did

Thought I only wanted to be like the rest
Now I see it kinda worked out for the best

Western hills western hills western hills
I’m there still
