Fuck the Sex Pistols Lyrics
The grass was never green. There was never purity. Some say it's all over... stupid fucking jaded burnouts.
Young ones: carry on. Destroy and annoy.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Fuck The Glory Days!
We don't care what you think.
We don't care what you say.
You don't get to decide
It's ours. Go Away. Shut up.
Young ones: carry on. Destroy and annoy.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Fuck The Glory Days!
We don't care what you think.
We don't care what you say.
You don't get to decide
It's ours. Go Away. Shut up.

I think everyone else is pretty much right on this one. Jeff probably got tired of hearing "tru punx" tell him the movement was dead, and that what MLIW is doing isn't as good as it was in the 80's, but he's basically replying "Fuck you. This isn't yours, it's mine, and I've worked my ass off to make it that way."
fuck the sex pistols? Fuck you, sure the sex pistols weren't very talented, but they were the face of punk in Britain in those days, and most punk in that day required little talent anyways. Either way, Rotten and the very shitty (but still awesome) bass player Sid, are indeed the image of early punk.
In response to your slightly winded yet not unfounded defense of british punk i implore you to listen to what i think of this... Modernlifeiswar is a band from themidwest.... what the fuck is it that i have learned from living in the midwest my whole life is even possibly relate-able to the sex pistols anarchy in the UK.? nothng. do you know why? because geographically they aren't even near the same places even climatically...... Rotten was never on any Sex Pistols recordings... Sid hates rotten to this day..... the image is what you like. you would love to wear your fucking patches and your trip pants you...

Someone had to say it. Fuck the Sex Pistols and any cynical "punk" who wants to talk about the past and shit on the hard-working bands of today.
haha. heard this for this first time live when MLIW was playing with Bouncing Souls and Lifetime in NYC. now that i'm reading the lyrics i think it's great. MLIW is such a smart, fiery band, i'm proud they're representing Iowa.
Well, I am a fan of the old punks, but the new shit is awesome too. Oh, and the Sex Pistols were horrible. They had like...6 good songs.
Well willstrife9fig REALLY missed the point of the whole song. Seriously, what the fuck. He's not saying Fuck the Sex Pistols because of their musical talent or singing abilities. And "they were the face of punk in Britain" is the problem, people still think they're the fucking face of punk, which is followed by the fact that like you said: "most punk in that day required little talent anyways." Another problem. Everyone just thought punk was a joke because of them. Like in that movie with Cheech in Chong where they just decied to pick up guitars and start a punk band "because it doesn't have to be good or mean anything, it's punk!"
Props to Aveks for saying what I was trying to say, only better.
Just because they were the face of punk in Britain dos not mean they are the face of punk today, and I don't think that people believed punk was a joke because of them, and if they did, or do, they obviously aren't very educated on the matter, so fuck them anyways. Blaming the Sex Pistols for assholes giving MLIW shit, is obviously not blaming the right people at all. I don't see Rotten giving them shit, and I don't think he would, being they are far more talented. I can understand where MLIW is coming from though, I would probably do the same thing in the face of criticism from assholes that seam to hate anything new, its easy to criticize and that's what people do, and will always do. You cant please everybody.
Props to Aveks for saying what holyfuckingshit was trying to say, only better.
It's all about how you live Punk and Hardcore today. Everywhere you can here the Term "Punk is Dead", but if you still live it, how can it be dead? I guess thats what the Song is about. Punk moved on, not everything is how it was in the beginning of the so called "Glory Days". Punk is about moving forward, not living any nostalgia kind of feeling.
