Punk's been dumbed down
To just another form of TV
Marketed to shoppers
Spoonfed carton rebellion like sheep
Flock to worship any old school band
Who cares if they still care or if they're bad
Something new in town
Who wants to know?
And look at all the whores
Reunions for wrong reasons
Playing only songs from the good old days
About how bad the good old days were
So why not us? We don't even like this stuff no more
But look at all that retro-racket cash
Those dumb punk kids will buy anything
We'll sue the guy who wrote the songs
So we can sell them into commercials
Steal the name and hit the road
Trashing all our band stood for
We won't rehearse, sound worse
Dig up some old child star
Who never learns the words
Hey, we're back
Show us how much you care
The merch booth's right over there
Buy! BUY!!!
And if our scam works
What a bandwagon it will be
Malcolm in the Middle in the Misfits
or Mary Kate and Ashley
Gary Coleman in Black Flag
Courtney in Nirvana at last
And Emmanuel Lewis
Back in action singing for the Germs
When will it end?
When people see this for what it is
Rock and Roll Swindle Pistols backed a thief
So how bout Kenny Boy Lay
In Dead Kennedys
Kuz those dumb punk kids
Will buy anything
