I seriously doubt that this is the correct interpretation. Simple Plan's stereotypical bubblegum punk whiny teenager lyrics at first listen could pass for a parody, mocking the ridiculousness of 30 year olds complaining about homework and chores. But they aren't being ironic. They're being serious. Am I wrong here? Tell me I'm wrong. 70.67.175.61 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

No, I think you're absolutely right with your interpretation! 213.69.26.162 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
The title text seems to prove your interpretation is right. And I must say your comment is one of the most accurate statements I've ever seen. 18.215.1.197 12:51, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

The interpretation is absolutely correct. Check this video [1], you will find this text "You don't know what it's like to be like me" in the lyrics.--Dgbrt (talk) 13:16, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes, that lyric is indeed in the song. But Randall is reflecting on the hilariously ironic "stereotypical bubblegum punk whiny teenager lyrics" as described above, not the bizarre explanation you have above. I understand if you're a Simple Plan fan, but judging by this comic Randall isn't. 18.215.1.197 22:00, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
