| Back in the day in the '80s when the
|
| Old bands would play (old school)
|
| They managed O.K. |
| They did fine
|
| Although they never got paid (that's cool)
|
| 50 cent shows, no cars we walked
|
| Both ways through the snow (up hill)
|
| That’s how it should go, but you’re too busy
|
| Counting your dough (each bill)
|
| If you want to be punk, if you want to be cool
|
| Don’t forget the golden rule
|
| Stay underground, you must stay poor
|
| Don’t grow up and don’t ask for more
|
| You live for the green, dead presidents
|
| Are destroying our scene (money)
|
| You know what I mean, you pay your rent
|
| By selling the dream (for me)
|
| No Individual Retirement Account
|
| Forget you and your 401K (wall street)
|
| I’m gonna stay as poor
|
| As I am today (can't eat)
|
| You can’t be punk if you don’t care that dollar signs are everywhere
|
| It seems like everyone’s on Victory
|
| But I will give away all that’s mine, and we won’t make another dime
|
| Money changes everything, you see
|
| But I won’t let it change me |
