The Separation Of Church & Skate |
| Hey Kids! |
| Hey Dad! |
| What’da want to do today? |
| We don’t know. |
| Wanna go to the matinee? |
| NO! |
| Wanna go to the Amusement Park? |
| NO! |
| Wanna go to the punk rock show? |
| Yeah! |
| Let’s go to the punk rock show! |
| Lost in a sea of combat boots, |
| Flush the bouncers with wasted youth |
| When did punk rock become so safe? |
| When did the scene become a joke? |
| The kids who used to live for beer and speed |
| Now want their fries and coke |
| Cursing and flipping birds are not allowed, |
| In fact let’s keep noise levels down |
| Must separate the church and skate! |
| Why don’t we put pads on the kids? |
| Helmets, head gear and mouth pieces! |
| Then we could pad the floor and walls, |
| Put cameras inside bathroom stalls |
| We make sure only nice bands play, |
| Make every show a matinee |
| Teach kids to be all they can be, |
| And we could sing my country tis of thee |
| Sweet land of liberty |
| When did punk rock become so safe? |
| I know it wasn’t Duane or Fletcher, |
| Who put up the barricades |
| Like a stake in the heart, |
| Somehow we got driven apart |
| I want conflict! |
| I want dissent! |
| I want the scene to represent |
| Our hatred of authority, |
| Our fight against complacency |
| Stop singing songs 'bout girls and love! |
| You killed the owl! |
| You freed the dove! |
| Confrontation and politics |
| Replaced with harmonies and shticks |
| When did punk rock become so tame? |
| These fucking bands all sound the same |
| We want our fights we want our thugs! |
| We want our burns we want our drugs! |
| Where is the violent apathy?! |
| These fucking records are rated G! |
| When did punk rock become so safe?! |
