Lyrics:
Verse 1
I could not fit in I was the one who got caught,
I was the one who got realized I was the one who got dropped.
Shut out banished and locked away,
The knife that did me in I carry to this day.
Chorus
Rejected,
Rejected,
Crossing bridges in the land of the forgotten.
Rejected,
Rejected.
Verse 2
I could not fit in I was the one who got caught,
I was the one who got realized I was the one who got dropped.
Distrust existed that I never saw,
Deep seated distrust I was a victim of.
Chorus
Rejected,
Rejected,
Crossing bridges in the land of the forgotten.
Rejected,
Rejected.
Bridge
Unspoken among the more privelaged or the so called,
I was not good enough not good enough at all.
At first outta lonliness I tried to conform,
But all that bullshit just left me all alone,
Left me all alone yeah!
Outro
Rejected!
Rejected!
Rejected!
Rejected!
Rejected!
Rejected!
Rejected!
Rejected!
That's it. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| This song means to me that b/c punks look like trouble means they or means that we are discriminated against b/c we think differently | |

| Idiots. The song isn't about being a punk. It's about rejection in general. They don't talk about their "punk" style or anything. The song is called "Rejected," not "Rejected Because We're Punks." Just like someone can be rejected for being crippled or having a big head or funny voice or not being very smart, people will reject others for being different in ways that may seem to be overlooked, but apparently are not. "Distrust existed that I never saw, Deep-seeded distrust I was a victim of." As I said, nothing to do with being a punk. It could be applied to anyone that is rejected for being different. | |

| Well it doesn't seem like this is about being rejected because he's punk specifically. Rather I think he's talking about being from a lower socio-economic class, or otherwise having a personality that doesn't fit in with the world of the upper class, or with those with white-collar aspirations who mimic the mannerisms of the upper class (with strict dress codes, speech rules, behaviour codes, etc). Punks are one example of a group of people who often have personalities and general behaviours and lifestyles that make it almost impossible for them to fit into any social niche that will give them any sort of economic success or mainstream acceptance. There are many other types of people who also have this problem and who find themselves perpetually marginalised despite their desires and efforts to conform... They just can't, they always retain an appearance of being "sketchy" or "ghetto" or something of the sort that causes more successful people to distrust them. Um, in other words... It's about not fitting in. :) The "distrust" and being "unspoken among the priviledged (ie ignored?)" and being just "not good enough" makes me think that he can't move up in the (mainstream) world. The part where he says he was the one who got caught, dropped, etc makes it sound like he's being negatively singled-out in a workplace (ie caught doing something wrong, fired), or possibly that he just can't behave in a way that doesn't get him in trouble. | |

| An autobiographical song about being turned down for major label record contracts. Nope. It's about social rejection, obviously. This is easily my favorite Freeman-sung Rancid song, I totally prefer his 40-a-day growling to Lars 'Rod Stewart' Fredricksen (or however its spelt) | |

| i feel what both of you are sayen. and i can relate to this song b/c i know (as a fellow punk) i have been rejected b/c i am the unknown. and i even tried to "fit in" once. it didnt work. so i made some friends that were like me. and its all good now. but i still get a lil deppressed and mad when i remember being rejected b/c, as the line "The knife that did me in I carry to this day " says,it always will be with you and it will never go away. katie | |
