Yeah, all you had to do was ask
And mom and dad would give you what you needed
And though I didn't know you then
I know you'll probably defend
And take the stand in the life that you'd been cheated
So you adopt a punk rock life
A leather jacket, hair with spikes
And join a band
'Cause you must have a say
And though you helped out with it that time
There's those of us, who keep on
Trying to make a living and not sound like Green Day
Trade rags say you're making it, now you're old
You don't give a shit.
Subconsciously fullfilled prophecy you've become your own nemesis
Mr. Brett, we won't pay that fee to keep you
Livin' in luxury
Some say genius, some say mistake
But you've become what you used to hate
Stupid! Wannabe! Punk Rock Guy!
So now we're in the 90's and punk's not what it used to be
It's gone downhill since 1982
And though I liked most of your bands
And listen to them all I can
It's fucked up that you think it's 'cause of you
You think that you're still part of the scene
Nail painted black, hair dyed dark green
For you this mid life crisis has come on strong
Now punk rock's been accepted
And they've realized it's not just a fad
Please, stay behind that desk where you belong
Punk rock life's been good to you
Now Corporate punk's the thing to do
Obnoxiously, you raised your fee,
You'll see to it we'll all get screwed.
Mr. Brett, we won't pay that fee to keep you
Livin' in luxury
Some say genius, some say mistake
But you've become what you used to hate
Stupid! Wannabe! Punk Rock Old Guy!
Just tell me the truth.
There's no excuse.
Just tell me the truth.
Mr. Brett, we won't pay that fee to keep you
Livin' in luxury
Some say genius, some say mistake
But you've become what you used to hate
Stupid! Wannabe! Punk Rock Record Mogul! Fuck you!!
Born into the middle class Yeah, all you had to do was ask And mom and dad would give you what you needed And though I didn't know you then I know you'll probably defend And take the stand in the life that you'd been cheated So you adopt a punk rock life A leather jacket, hair with spikes And join a band 'Cause you must have a say And though you helped out with it that time There's those of us, who keep on Trying to make a living and not sound like Green Day Trade rags say you're making it, now you're old You don't give a shit.
