Lyrics

Yes, that's right, punk is dead It's just another cheap product Full of crouching misanthropy Bubble gum rock and plastic chances Cool boys edition But for bits on the motors CB, Yes, Promod and The Clash Over revolution is just for cash Punk became a fashion Like hippy used to be I can't feel you're doing it like me Movement starts to exist, starts to kill Movement starts to express the public will Punk became a movement 'Cause we all felt lost Leaders sold out Now we all got to cop Punk lost its original distinction No punk Steve Jones started doing real work Preaching revolution out of Kim J Duck from the system and give me snuff Well, I'm tired of staring through shit-stained glass Tired of staring up a superstar's ass I can't ask the crowd for anything I'm just waiting for 15 minutes fame CB Jones, you're no punk You're too pretty much and way too smart Patti Smith, you're no punk You're like Leanne Francis and Roseanne And media's dying Do I want to know? Is there something I can know? You're all little prissy bats Who put makeup on their eyes Just to carry a spade before you stand Took a job in TV And now you're putting on a cow Social leaders, social tension, hurrah! What's it all about? It ain't about nothing It's 25 cents but it's still got to be said Punk is dead Punk is dead Punk is dead Punk is dead Punk is dead Punk is dead Punk is dead Punk is dead
