Say to me that punk is dead
I wish you even more contempt
Don't like the music, don't like the words
You can all piss off, you're a bunch of turds
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, Oh no it's not
We're all punks and we don't care
We're boot boys who dye our hair
Leather jackets, DM boots
Run about every night
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, Oh no it's not
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, Oh no it's not
[Guitar solo]
We refuse to hear the lie
Have no fear till the day I die
Swearing at yooz who walk around
Don't like it, I'll hit you to the ground
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, Oh no it's not
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, I know it's not
I wish you even more contempt
Don't like the music, don't like the words
You can all piss off, you're a bunch of turds
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, Oh no it's not
We're all punks and we don't care
We're boot boys who dye our hair
Leather jackets, DM boots
Run about every night
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, Oh no it's not
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, Oh no it's not
[Guitar solo]
We refuse to hear the lie
Have no fear till the day I die
Swearing at yooz who walk around
Don't like it, I'll hit you to the ground
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, Oh no it's not
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, I know
Punk's not dead, I know it's not

@Tricci btw This song was in direct retaliation to the Crass song 'Punk is dead' I know it well I was there back in the day on tour. (old but still kicking)
This song is in direct retaliation of a song 'Punk is dead' by Crass in 1979, and even has some of the lyrics at the start (dont like the music..dont like the words) I was on tour with them back in the day and friends with big John the guitarist when he worked with Nirvana. This is one of my favourite songs and had to add this comment as young kids dont know squat these days. Ive added the ACTUAL lyrics. peace out! Punks nae Deed!!
PUNK IS NOT DEAD!! thats what its all about.
great song......the title says it all...
isn't it punks not dead i know?
thats wat i thought
Yeah. I know it's not.
Oh, and the second line of the last verse sounds like "Have no fear 'till the day I die" to me.
^ I thought everyone knew that?
I think the opening verse is closer to "So they say that punk is dead Who was that - a mod or a ted Don't like he music don't like the words You can piss off you bunch of turds" Hard to tell but that's closer
Little do some know, that the SEX PISTOLS remade this song, but it was never released.
@Slave2sin Probably little known because it's not true!<br />
Little known FACT sexpistols broke up in 1978 This song was written in 1981. Do the math and stop making stuff up
