(Intro):
Hey kids!
Hey dad!
What do you want to do today?
I don't know.
Do you want to go to the matinee?
No.
Do you want to go to the amusement park?
No.
Do you want to go to the punk rock show?
Yeah! Let's go to the punk rock show!!

(Fat Mike)
Lost in a sea of combat boots,
Flush the bouncers with wasted youth
When did punk rock become so safe?
(Eric Melvin) When did the scene become a joke?
(Fat Mike) The kids who used to live for beer and speed,
(Eric Melvin) Now want their fries and coke.
(Fat Mike) Cursing and birds are not allowed,
In fact let's keep noise levels down.

Must seperate the Church and Skate.

Why don't we put pads on the kids,
Helmets, head gear and mouth pieces.
Then we could pad the floors and walls,
(Eric Melvin) Put cameras inside bathroom stalls.
(Fat Mike) We make sure only nice bands play,
(Eric Melvin) Make every show a matinee.
(Fat Mike) Teach kids to be all they can be,
And we could sing my country 'tis of thee.
Sweet land of liberty, Bleh!

When did punk rock become so safe
I know it wasn't Duane or Fletcher,
Who put up the barricades
Like a stake in the heart
Somehow we got driven apart

I want conflict I want dissent,
I want the scene to represent.
Our hatred of authority,
(Eric Melvin) Our fight against complacency
(Fat Mike) Stop singing songs bout girls and love,
(Eric Melvin) You killed the owl
You freed the dove.
(Fat Mike) Confrontation and politics,
(Eric Melvin) Replaced with harmonies and chicks.
(Fat Mike) When did punk rock become so tame,
(Eric Melvin) These fucking bands all sound the same.
(Fat Mike) We want our fights we want our thugs,
We want our burns we want our drugs.
Where is the fun with apathy,
These fuckin' records are rated G.

When did punk rock become so safe?
