Back in the Day |
| When I was just a skinny lad on holiday by the sea |
| I met a girl in a Rancid shirt, and a tape she gave to me |
| With the Black Flag First Four Years and the Minor Threat Discography |
| And punk rock saved my life |
| Going down the Red Eye back in 1998 |
| Hanging out with Household Names and staying out too late |
| This angry adolescent found an outlet for his hate |
| And punk rock saved my life |
| The vision wasn’t perfect and we knew it all along |
| We dressed like fucking idiots and got our facts all wrong |
| But everyone must needs be an extremist when they’re young |
| Fucking with your parents makes you grow up big and strong |
| Folding zines and record sleeves while sitting round at home |
| Flicking through the catalogues and distros at the shows |
| Circle pits and sing-a-longs, come on let’s fucking go |
| And punk rock saved my life |
| That little dream is over, it was never going to last |
| Everybody’s moved along and it’s all in the past |
| But when I was just 16 I pinned my colours to the mast |
| And punk rock’s in the ink that’s in my skin |
| The attitude in every song I sing |
| And we didn’t change the world, we didn’t win |
| We probably didn’t even save my life, it’s true |
| But I bet we had a better time than you |
