Punk is dead |
|
Yes that's right, punk is dead |
|
It's just another cheap product for the consumer's head |
|
Bubblegum rock on plastic transistors |
|
Schoolboy sedition backed by big time promoters |
|
CBS promoted the Clash |
|
but not for revolution, just for cash |
|
Punk became a fashion just like hippy used to be A |
|
And it ain't got a thing to do with your or me |
|
Movements are systems and systems kill |
|
Movements are expressions of the public will |
|
Punk became a movement cos they all felt lost |
|
but the leaders sold out and now we all pay the cost |
|
Punk narcissism was a social napalm |
|
The Sex pistols started doing real harm |
|
Preaching revolution, anarchy and change As they |
|
Sucked from the system that had given him his name |
|
Well I'm tired of staring through shit stained glass |
|
I'm tired of staring up a superstars ass |
|
I've got an ass and a heart and a name |
|
I'm just waiting for my fifteen minutes fame |
|
And me, yes, I, do I want to burn? |
|
Is there really something I can learn? |
|
Do I need a business man to promote my angle |
|
Can I resist the carrots that fame and fortune dangle |
|
I see the velvet zippies in their bondage gear |
|
The social elite with safety pins in their ear |
|
I watch and understand that it don't mean a thing |
|
The scorpions attack, but the systems stole the sting |
|
PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD |
