Yes that's right, punk is dead, it's just another cheap
product for the consumers head. Bubblegum rock on plastic
transistors, schoolboy sedition backed by big time promoters. CBS promote the Clash, but
it ain't for revolution, it's
just for cash. Punk became a fashion just like hippy used to be and it aint got a
thing to do with you or me. Movements
are systems and systems kill. Movements are expressions of the public will. Punk became a
movement cos we all felt lost,
but the leaders sold out now we all have to pay the cost. Punk narcissism was a social
napalm, Steve Jones started doing
real harm. Preaching revolution, anarchy and change as he sucked from the system that had
given him his name. Well I'm
tired of looking through shit stained glass, tired of staring up a superstars are, I've
got an arse and crap and a name,
I'm just waiting for my friend Well I'm tired of looking through shit stained glass, tired
of staring up a superstars
arse, I've got an arse and crap and a name, Im just waiting for my fifteen minutes
fame. Steve Jones you're napalm, if
youre why do you smarm? Patti Smith, youre napalm, you write with your hand, but
it's Rimbaud's arm. And me, yes, I, do I
want to burn? Is there something I can learn? Do I need a business card man to promote my
angle? Can I resist the carrots
that fame and fortune dangle? I see the velvet zippies in their bondage gear, the social
elite with safety pins in their
ear, I watch and understand that it don't mean a thing, the scorpions might attack, but
the systems stole the sting. PUNK
IS DEAD.PUNK IS DEAD.PUNK IS DEAD.
