lyrics

THIS IS OUR PUNK ROCK:

Yo when i was born,
Into tales of trial and scorn,
Heard the voice of a riot, a storm,
Learnt over obstacle and injury to
Glide with ability, to fly with agility,
The line between sky and sea,
Their crime is a fallacy,
They make a place for their enemies,
Let me show you what it means to me.
This is our punk rock, I heard the movement's heart stop when i sat back to watch

Clocked and drop it, like we could never stop,
Or be afraid of change, the future's unchained, unclaimed,
Like a rage fueled animal, such a mechanical response to a mind at odds with itself,
I'm feeling sick from standing still, the crowd stood frozen like those statues on the hill,
I don't think we've thought this through but of course we're going to change the world 'cos what else can we do?

It's killing us all, it's killing us all,
I've got my hands tied back against the wall,
But the masses stand tall
Don't act like we already lost it,
There's no need to take the power back if we already got it,
Clock it, drop it, tell it again and again,
Till you make your man step down fall in line with a bitter trend.
It doesn't matter if you called him a friend,
When the system's on a lock down then it will not relent

But what's this? Another Prince out to take the piss?
A razor tongue slits the wrist of a broken promise.
I've got couple more reasons to be here,
Like not trying to fear change, gotta change fear.
See here.
Tell it again and again,
The lie runs faster than the truth it's a shame.
Till you really don't know what to believe
except the world's a twisted place,
but it won't twist me.

This is our Punk Rock, I heard the movement's heart stop when i sat back to watch.
