Punk Is Dead — текст песни (crass)

Yes that`s right, punk is dead
It`s just another cheap product for the consumers head
Bubblegum rock on plastic transistors
Schoolboy sedition backed by big time promoters
CBS promote the Clash
Ain`t for revolution, it`s just for cash
Punk became a fashion just like hippy used to be
Ain`t got a thing to do with your or me
Movements are systems and systems kill
Movements are expressions of the public will
Punk became a movement cos we all felt lost
Leaders sold out and now we all pay the cost
Punk narcissism was a social napalm
Steve Jones started doing real harm
Preaching revolution, anarchy and change
Sucked from the system that had given him his name
Well I`m tired of staring through shit stained glass
Tired of staring up a superstars arse
I`ve got an arse and crap and a name
I`m just waiting for my fifteen minutes fame
Steven Jones, you`re napalm
If you`re so pretty vacant, why do you smarm?
Patti Smith, you`re napalm, your write with your hand
But it`s Rimbaud`s arm
And me, yes, I, do I want to burn?
Is there something I can learn?
Do I need a business man to promote my angle
Can I resist the carrots that fame and fortune dangle
I see the velvet zippies in their bondage gear
The social elite with safetypins in their ear
I watch and understand that it don`t mean a thing
The scorpions might attack, but the systems stole the sting
PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD.
