Reject (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Trivia
- This song was remade by Avril Lavigne.
- The line "So when the smoke clears here I am/ A reject All-American" likely inspired the name of the emo-pop band The All-American Rejects.
- The song is based on a letter to Billie Joe from some child's mother who was offended with the Dookie album. Billie Joe replied by saying he writes for himself, and not eight-year-old boys or offended mothers (not in those exact words).
