"Fat Lip"
Song

"Fat Lip" is the first single from the album All Killer No Filler by the Canadian pop-punk band Sum 41. It was their major breakthrough single, topping both the Billboard Modern Rock chart and the MuchMusic Countdown in the summer of 2001.

The high-tempo song includes elements of nu metal, hip hop (particularly The Beastie Boys) , and pop punk, with all 4 members getting some lines in (Deryck providing some hip-hop while mainly doing the singing). Its lyrics depict a person who wants to rebuff every attempt by society to conform, with the chorus beginning with the line, "I don't wanna waste my time/Become another casualty of society". The lyrics are rebellious and juvenile in nature, giving it a target teenage audience. The song gets in name from the slang term for having a swollen lip as a result of being punched in the face.

The video contains another track from the album, Pain For Pleasure. The band members dressed in 80's heavy metal style with a different music tone that sounds similar to Megaman. This dual-video project was directed by Marc Klasfeld.

The song is also featured in the Playstation 2 video game Guitar Hero.
