Go Ska! Lyrics

I heard a rumor and it's hard to ignore everybody is saying punk's not cool anymore
So I called all my friends just to make sure then I went down to the record store
Took all my CDs of Rancid and traded them in for the new Rancid album
Shaved off my Mohawk, I got a bald head and a tattoo that says "I'll skank till I'm dead".
No one likes the punks these days
LET'S GO SKA! WE CAN START TODAY!
Politics Schmolitics, we can get some food and we can write songs about being rude
I got a porkpie, a bad attitude, a checkerboard tie and a three-piece suit
I'm glad that I found this sound
And I hope there's cheap tattoo removal when this trend dies down
I wanna be cool the Rastafarian way
LET'S GO SKA! HEP HEP HEP HEY!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It sounds more like basic punk than ska...Fucking idiot.

This song is about following trends.

so long as ska doesnt become mainstream popular i think it'll be same from the kids who follow the "new trend" every year or two.unfortunately though they started selling streetlight shirts in hot-topic. no one knows who they are, but they"ll wear them cause everyone else does.and that will be a sad day for music.
