What happened to our roots, did we forget them

What happened to our ancestors, did we reject them

What's with all this bullshit that we're shoving down our mouths

Did we forget what punk rock was all about

This is the sound of a new generation

So raise a fist up in the air

If you're coming along

If you're tired of all the fakers

Then cut them all down

And sing this song

What's with all these adults, trying to tell us how it's done

Don't trust over thirty, that's rule number one

It's seems like everyone's trying to make us disappear

If we scream loud enough maybe someone will hear

This is the sound of a new generation

So raise a fist up in the air

If you're coming along

If you're tired of all the fakers

Then cut them all down

And sing this song

And now for a lesson in punk rock history

It all started in the seventies where bands basically said "fuck you" to the mainstream Acts of the time

And decided to rebel with a brand new sound that melted the ears of anyone above the Age of thirty

This continued through the 1990s where punk itself started to bleed into the mainstream But still carried the same messages

Meanwhile, Japan had a punk uprising of its own in the 90s, with Seishun Punk Spawning a whole subculture of its own

Fast forward to today and punk is now a needle in a haystack, with the modern Conception of punk by the masses being a clusterfuck of misconceptions, definitions And Whatever Machine Gun Kelly is doing

So, ladies and gentlemen, I come to you with a proposal

We must take back punk rock with force and bring back its meaning: a big middle finger To the mainstream that wants to tell us what to say and how to sound

So, with that said

This is the sound of a new generation

So raise a fist up in the air

If you're coming along

If you're tired of all the fakers

Then cut them all down

And sing this song

This is the sound of a new generation

So raise a fist up in the air

If you're coming along

If you're tired of all the fakers

Then cut them all down

And sing this song
