Jeffrey Lewis - Punk is dead

^CPunk is dead, ^Ampunk is dead, ^FYes that's right, ^Cpunk is dead, ^CPunk is dead, ^Ampunk is dead, It's just ^Fanother cheap product for the ^Cconsumers' head,

^CBubblegum rock on ^Amplastic transistors, ^FSchoolboy sedition backed by ^Cbig time promoters, ^CCBS ^Ampromoted the Clash, ^Fbut not for revolution, ^Cjust for cash. ^CPunk became a fashion just like ^Amhippie used to be, ^Fand it ain't got a thing ^Cto do with you or me

^CMovements are systems and ^Amsystems kill, ^FMovements are expressions of the ^Cpublic will. ^CPunk became a movement cause they ^Amall felt lost, ^Fbut the leaders sold out and now we^C all pay the cost.

^CPunk narcissism was a ^Amsocial napalm, ^FRock star punk bands started ^Cdoing real harm, ^CPreaching revolution, ^Amanarchy and change, As they ^Fsucked from the system that had ^Cgiven them their name.

^CWell I'm tired of staring ^Amthrough shit stained glass, I'm ^Ftired of staring up a superstar's ass, ^CI've got an ass and a ^Cheart and a name, and ^AmI'm just waiting for my fifteen ^Fminutes fame.

And ^Cme, yes me, do I ^Cwant to burn? Is ^Amthere really something that I ^Fcan learn? Do I ^Cneed a business man to ^Cpromote my angle? Can I ^Amresist the carrots fame and ^Ffortune dangle I ^Csee the velvet zippies in their ^Cbondage gear, The ^Amsocial elite with safety p^Fins in their ear, I ^Cwatch and understand that it ^Cdon't mean a thing, The ^Amscorpions attack, but the s^Fystems stole the sting
