I wanna be a punk again
I'm tired of being quiet
I wanna be a punk again
Time to start a riot
I've got the inclination
To turn back the pages
Create some agitation
And act outrageous
Goin' down to CBGB
Gonna damage my ears
I want to hear...
"Hey ho, let's go let's go"
I want to go way back when
I wanna be a punk again
I wanna be a punk again
Don't want to settle down
I wanna be a punk again
Get driven out of town
Safety pins and chains
A black leather jacket
Throwin' punches in the pit
And make a big racket
Joey, Dee Dee, Johnny, Tommy
Do you hear us call your name?
Joey, Dee Dee, Johnny, Tommy
You're the keepers of the flame
Way over in the U.K.
Johnny, Steve and Sid
You may not have had fun
But we sure did
