Discover the story of the song > You Say I’m Scum – D.R.I.

The protagonist wants to do what he wants, like play music and grow his hair long, without being judged. He doesn't want a traditional job or to be just another number to be laid off. His partner thinks he's stupid, while someone in a Porsche makes fun of him for skating. But the protagonist doesn't care and thinks those people calling him "scum" don't understand him.
