My friends use to show off their tatts
Now they talk about filling their bank vault
Your life is fucked and it's all your fault
You use to be dangerous and fun
Before you got that mortgage
Killed by mediocrity, procrastination, blah blah
Now you vote conservative
The people of influence and cynical and jaded
Habitat destruction, fake terrorism
We're all imploding under mass boredom
Sleeping generation can't embrace the shock
There's nothing left to embrace
You sent a postcard that said, "Punk Rock"
It's a publicity stunt
Tune in turn up recline practice being dead
I hope this sledge hammer reminds you who you are
Angry youth reduced to ultra-conservative nervous frightened children
It was supposed to dangerous
It was supposed to be risque
Now it's cheap and mass produced
Now it's in a bargain bin... on sale
You only see the filth when you look for it
The scene sucks because you suck, you killed it
You stood back and let it die
