Punk Rock

One of my FAWM songs from this year

©2014 Stephen G Brown

I wish I could play with a punk rock band

We’d play real loud, we’d play hard and
We’d wear Leather jackets, jeans all full of rips
Green haired mohawks and jewelry in our lips

I’d wear my big ol’ combat boots, don’t know where they’re from
Chains make me look tough, gotta get me some
“A” stands for Anarchy, don’t know what it means
But I yell it just as loud as I can possibly scream

Singing
Na na na na hey hey hey
I don’t hear a word you say
Singing
Na na na na oh oh oh
Won’t be long until we go

We’d act real tough, we’d act real cool
We’d sneer a whole lot, hope that we scare you
Stand around before the show, looking disaffected
Covers for the fact that we feel like we’re rejected

Standing on the stage, bouncing around
maybe smash some stuff, liven up the crowd
Stand at the edge let me sweat drip on the fan
Take a flying leap, this is punk rock, man!

Singing
Na na na na hey hey hey
I don’t hear a word you say
Singing
Na na na na oh oh oh
Won’t be long until we go

Solo

Singing
Na na na na hey hey hey
I don’t hear a word you say
Singing
Na na na na oh oh oh
Won’t be long until we go

Just wrote another song, uses all three chords
Changing up the rhythm so we won’t get board
Scratch that, we’ll just play the same thing
It’s not like Kiri Te Kenawa gonna get up and sing

We don’t need to be good, we can just play loud
We don’t give a rats, we just act proud
I don’t love nothin’, you got nothin’ that I need
I’m too damn lazy to rage against the machine

Singing
Na na na na hey hey hey
I don’t hear a word you say
Singing
Na na na na oh oh oh
Won’t be long until we go

  1. Ah, for the simple days of the Ramones, back before music got complicated…
