| i recall back in '79 i was just a wee kid livin' in a dive
|
| didn’t drink, didn’t dance, didn’t ever smoke hash
|
| but it changed when i heard the clash
|
| and you know i needed more so i got
|
| up and out to the record store
|
| i bought all the records i could afford
|
| an' i played em all on my stereo
|
| (Chorus:)
|
| this is a song saluting punkrockers rise
|
| and what they did to change the times
|
| but with such a lifestyle they’re burnin'
|
| on both sides
|
| now they’re droppin' like flies
|
| all those punk rock guys
|
| i became a fan and i remain that way
|
| and to this day, i’m still blown away
|
| those bands just cut me to the bone
|
| like the damned, the pistols & the ramones
|
| now we just wanna say
|
| they made us what we are today
|
| so every time we play
|
| we remember those of yesterday
|
| (Chorus:)
|
| this is a song saluting punkrockers rise
|
| and what they did to change the times
|
| with such a lifestyle they’re burnin'
|
| on both sides
|
| now they’re droppin' like flies
|
| all those punk rock guys
|
| i became a fan and i remain that way
|
| and to this day, i’m still blown away
|
| and then theres me im not dead yet
|
| but you never really know i could be next
|
| (Chorus:)
|
| this is a song saluting punkrockers rise
|
| and what they did to change the times
|
| with such a lifestyle they’re burnin'
|
| on both sides
|
| now they’re droppin' like flies
|
| all those old punk rock guys
|
| they’re droppin' like flies
|
| all those old punk rock guys
|
| they’re droppin' like flies
|
| all those old punk rock guys |
