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
