Bigger Than Punk Rock |
Well I remember at a party |
A couple a years ago when I saw an MC |
He ripped the mic then he passed it to me |
I learned a little lesson, he helped me to see |
It’s not about choosing guitar or the decks; |
It’s doing it yourself that gets the respect |
Stuck like a sign, now was the time |
I was ready for the beat, ready for the bassline and boom! |
Now we’re mixing the sound for the show |
So punks say Oi! |
B-Boys say Bo! |
We’ve seen them come and I’ve watched the bands go |
I’d better get a dedicated outlook yo |
And that’s the reason that we came and add a twist |
I thought that punk was all about the freedom mister! |
Don’t want to be the sound to tick off your list |
We’re bigger than this punk rock |
Well anything we call 'punk rock' |
In a category called 'punk rock' |
'Punk rock' is only ever going to be punk rock |
Some things are bigger than punk rock |
Look around |
No, we aren’t unified by guitars crashing down |
Revolution is more than sound |
We’re better together and still we’re going nowhere |
Can’t see the wood for the scene |
But in the spaces between lies the truth that we’ve got |
And it’s bigger than punk rock |
Anyway, never going to never pin us down |
Any style, play it from a squat to a stage |
Strike Anywhere, spread it about like shareware |
Anyone far beyond little pond, respond |
Yet, this mindset; |
Preach the converted, yet we forget |
It’s just Minor Threats and fanzines are |
Empty of meaning if we’re not being UK |
Stop pretending that it’s not UK |
Not America we’re in UK |
Got to sing it like we’re from UK |
And maybe then we’ll find a way |
Look around |
Do we have all the unity we sing of in this crowd? |
Revolution is more than sound |
We’re better together and still we’re going nowhere |
Can’t see the wood for the scene |
But in the spaces between lies the truth that we’ve got |
And it’s bigger than punk rock |
Round in circles. |
I can’t see this. |
Revolution |
More than just a sound |
We’re better together and still we’re going nowhere |
Can’t see the wood for the scene |
But in the spaces between lies the truth that we’ve got |
And it’s bigger than punk rock |
But in the spaces between lies the truth that we’ve got |
And it’s bigger than punk rock |
