Atomic Punk Lyrics

Cover art for Atomic Punk lyrics by Van Halen

This was written after they had acquired a record deal. This was a spit in the face of all the rival bands they had encountered on the LA club scene. Cuz they were finally "ruling the streets at night."

The verses depict the club scenes and possibly even the whole rock scene of the mid and late 70's as a dark underworld. But they were finally on top when the gained a record deal.
