What Punk Rock is all about

Listening to music doesn’t make you fail
Thinking that you really can’t do that thing
That is the true and only way to failing
Look back on your success and remember

Sing a song without meaning in it
That’s how you make fake money
Sing from your heart and you’ll do well
Make it your song and no one else’s

Write down the lyrics and sing it to me
Plug in your guitar and I’ll play it for you
Put it into your own fingers and go on, play
Turn it up to ten and go for it, remember

Make the crowd scream for more and more
Until your fingers fall off and you scream
Listen to the beat of your own pounding heart
Look into your mind and remember it all

Say those things you used to whisper to them
Scream them out so everybody can hear them
Listen to words of advice and keep on living
Being who you are, is the way of succeeding

Write down the lyrics and sing it to me
Plug in your guitar and I’ll play it for you
Put it into your own fingers and go on, play
Turn it up to ten and go for it, remember

Play the song nobody dared to put to paper
Make the stage wet and don’t rest now, later
Play it with your burning soul and nothing else
Look back and try to think about it all again

Sit down and think it all through and then start
Listen to the bells calling out the dooms day
Forget about your misery and just write it down
That you need to tell the world or just yourself

Think like the man that killed the music called Punk
Think like the greatest man in Punk Rock history
Think like him and everyone else who claim this is
Exactly what Punk Rock is about, no money, just soul

End
