Mom and dad they quite don't understand it
All the kids they laugh as if they planned it
Why do girls wanna pierce their nose?
And walk around in torn pantyhose, oh yeah
I like the ones who say they listen to the punk rock
I like the the kids who fight against how they were brought up
They hate the trends and think it's fucked to care
It's cool when they piss people off with what they wear, oh yeah
So give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to and don't fit in
Hate the jocks, the preps, the hippie fuckin' scumbags
Heavy metalers with their awful pussy hair bands
Counting seconds until we can get away
Ditching school almost every single day, oh yeah
So give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to and don't fit in
Give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to and don't fit in
All the kids they laugh as if they planned it
Why do girls wanna pierce their nose?
And walk around in torn pantyhose, oh yeah
I like the ones who say they listen to the punk rock
I like the the kids who fight against how they were brought up
They hate the trends and think it's fucked to care
It's cool when they piss people off with what they wear, oh yeah
So give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to and don't fit in
Hate the jocks, the preps, the hippie fuckin' scumbags
Heavy metalers with their awful pussy hair bands
Counting seconds until we can get away
Ditching school almost every single day, oh yeah
So give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to and don't fit in
Give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to and don't fit in

Sorry Juggy, I thought that you were just another kid on this site who referred to The Ramones as the only punk band out there. Some people on this site annoy me, my apologies. True on the fact that most people do associate The Ramones and The Sex Pistols as the only punk bands, sure gets on my nerves. PUNK in itself was a revision of rock n roll, and I am personally a huge fan of punk. It to me, is rock and roll in it's purest form. The Clash are still my favorite punk band of all time. Hell their my favorite band, period. I get pissed when they don't get recognition like The Ramones and Sex Pistols do.. Meh, sorry again. I'm just a die-hard, bastard fan. I don't get why so many people associate punk in the early 80's, but yeah some do. Funny thing, Sex Pistols weren't even around in the early 80's, lol. Johnny Rotten walked out of their final show in 1979 and they were no more. You should listen to Crass, their not bad. The Clash are kinda my favorite band though. My apologies, again.
