The title of this song and the album seem to be a play on:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shape_of_Jazz_to_Come , an album by Ornette Coleman.
Refused's wordplay seems more genuine if you take into consideration that the title of Coleman's album has been cited/translated elsewhere as The Form Of Jazz To Approach which makes The Shape Of Punk To Come more of a perfect opposite kinda title
