Punk Is Dead |
| Yes that’s right, punk is dead |
| It’s just another cheap product for the consumers' head |
| Bubblegum rock on plastic transistors |
| Schoolboy sedition backed by big-time promoters |
| CBS promote the Clash |
| Ain’t for revolution, it’s just for cash |
| Punk became a fashion just like hippy used to be |
| Ain’t got a thing to do with you or me |
| Movements are systems and systems kill |
| Movements are expressions of the public will |
| Punk became a movement cos we all felt lost |
| Leaders sold out and now we all pay the cost |
| Punk narcissism was a social napalm |
| Steve Jones started doing real harm |
| Preaching revolution, anarchy and change |
| Sucked from the system that had given him his name |
| Well I’m tired of staring through shit-stained glass |
| Tired of staring up a superstar’s arse |
| I’ve got an arse and crap and a name |
| I’m just waiting for my fifteen minutes fame |
| Steven Jones, you’re napalm |
| If you’re so pretty vacant, why do you smarm? |
| Patti Smith, you’re napalm, you write with your hand |
| But it’s Rimbaud’s arm |
| And me, yes, I, do I want to burn? |
| Is there 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 might attack, but the systems stole the sting |
| Punk is dead |
| Punk is dead |
| Punk is dead |
| Punk is dead |
| Punk is dead |
| Punk is dead |
| Punk is dead |
| Punk is dead |
| Punk is dead |
