We sang songs of defiance.
Now I’m really not sure if you’re part of that anymore.
You can "take a look around the world and see that all mass media are owned and controlled by conservative capitalists" and now thanks to you, so is punk rock! You taught me to rebel! You taught me to give em hell! Now you just sing to sell!
We asked for "a band who played loud and hard every night", "our arenas just basements across an underground America." "Just give me a scene where the music is free", and you don’t pay 15 bucks for a fucking cd, "turn those clapping hands into angry balled fists", because the underground punks are pissed!
(We’re gonna take back everything you stole!) You taught me to rebel! You taught me to give em hell! Now you just sing to sell!
