Story Behind the Song
so I was having a bit of an argument with a guy. he was telling me I shouldn't have butted into a conversation that he had butted into in the first place. this was a big guy. you know the type, IQ of a doorknob, and looked like his life's dream would be to become a bouncer. eventually it got to the point where he was calling me down and it seemed like his strongest point was how easily he could beat me up. I said something like "you think you're a better person than me because you could hurt me?", to which he replied "I wouldn't waste my time on someone insignificant like you". This song was damned easy to write after that.
Lyrics
You call me insignificant, call me down to the lowest
Look at me as a little speck, undeserving of any respect
...but what about you? What makes you better than me?
Your opinion's not fact! You're not God, despite what you think
Insignificant
who is insignificant?
who is insignificant?
who is insignificant?
Can't stand the sight of your face, attitude brings me close to hate
So smug, such a waste, why don't you get off of my case?
...but what about me? I'm in control of myself
Won't stoop to your level, man, I'm not the one who needs help
Insignificant
who is insignificant?
I'm not insignificant
no one's insignificant
[solo - length and chords of first half of verse]
...but who's to say? which one of us holds the truth?
I may think you're a fuck, but i don't have the right to judge...
...and neither do you!
Insignificant
I'm not insignificant
you're not insignificant
no one's insignificant
so punk... who are you to say
that shit about me? who made you judge anyway?
