Surname
A surname or family name is a name added to a given name. In many cases, a surname is a family name and many dictionaries define "surname" as a synonym of "family name". In the western hemisphere, it is commonly synonymous with last name because it is usually placed at the end of a person's given name.
In most Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking countries, two or more last names (or surnames) may be used. In China, Hungary, Japan, Korea, Madagascar, Taiwan, Vietnam, and parts of India, the family name is placed before a person's given name.
The style of having both a family name (surname) and a given name (forename) is far from universal. In many countries, it is common for ordinary people to have only one name or mononym.
The concept of a "surname" is a relatively recent historical development, evolving from a medieval naming practice called a "byname". Based on an individual's occupation or area of residence, a byname would be used in situations where more than one person had the same name.

Fake I.D.
by: BarlowThe St. Louisa school girl
Corona on her breath
Push up ammunition
Smoke some crystal meth
All she wants to do is rock the big dance floor
Sugar Fairy Princess never been before
Bald headed bouncers counting 1-2-3
She just walked right in and showed her fake I.D. and said…
Sucker, I’m only seventeen
she said…
Sucker, I’m only seventeen
The ruler infiltration
Over enemy lines
On the name of freedom
Win a real good time
4am confession in the bathroom stall
She’s under surveillance and a disco ball
She’s dancing on the speakers, call security
And she just shakes her ass and shows her fake I.D. and says…
Sucker, I’m only seventeen (yeah)
she said…
Sucker, I’m only seventeen
Well she’s a James Bond, side dong? operation Hong Kong
Her daddy’s sleepin now they’ve got the systems gone wrong
Sucker
Well all she wants to do is rock the big dance floor
All she wants to do is rock the big dance floor
All she wants to…
All she wants to…
All she wants to do is rock the big dance floor
Sucker, I’m only seventeen (yeah)
she said…
Sucker, I’m only seventeen
Well she’s a James Bond, side dong? operation Hong Kong
Her daddy’s sleepin now they’ve got the systems gone wrong
All she wants to do is rock the big dance floor
Sucker, I’m only seventeen
Sucker, I’m only seventeen
Sucker, I’m only seventeen
All she wants to do
All she wants to do
All she wants to do is rock the big dance floor
