You end up spending all your fight to keep your place under the light
|
In front of new kids who don't seem concerned
|
So we must teach them what we've learned
|
When you're DIY you don't have to apologize, you can cut the ties
|
When you're DIY there's no need for compromise, you can be yourself
|
|
They can't take it away: Punk will scream what corporate rock can't say
|
|
It never works to play their game, things always turn out the same
|
Times have changed but it's still not funny
|
They turn rebellion into money
|
|
When money's involved, morals are pliable
|
You can't be punk and commercially viable
|
No message survives, once it becomes buyable
|
If you want to make a difference keep it DIY-able
|
|
It's time to give a second thought to what's been gained
|
And now what's been lost, once punk was young and dangerous
|
But now that's all been taken from us
|
By an industry a billion dollars strong
|
That still has nothing on an old school singalong
|
We can fight, and we can win, it's time we start this over again
|
