Well I remember at a party |
|
A couple a years ago when I saw an MC. |
|
He ripped the mic then he passed it to me, |
|
I learned a little lesson, he helped me to see. |
|
It's not about choosing guitar or the decks; |
|
It's doing it yourself that gets the respect. |
|
Stuck like a sign, now was the time |
|
I was ready for the beat, ready for the bassline and boom! |
|
Now we're mixing the sound for the show |
|
So punks say Oi! B-Boys say Bo! |
|
We've seen them come and I've watched the bands go, |
|
I'd better get a dedicated outlook yo. |
|
And that's the reason that we came and add a twist. |
|
I thought that punk was all about the freedom mister! |
|
Don't want to be the sound to tick off your list, |
|
We're bigger than this punk rock. |
|
Well anything we call 'punk rock', |
|
In a category called 'punk rock'. |
|
'Punk rock' is only ever going to be punk rock. |
|
Some things are bigger than punk rock. |
|
Look around, |
|
No, we aren't unified by guitars crashing down. |
|
Revolution is more than sound. |
|
We're better together and still we're going nowhere, |
|
Can't see the wood for the scene. |
|
But in the spaces between lies the truth that we've got |
|
And it's bigger than punk rock. |
|
Anyway, never going to never pin us down, |
|
Any style, play it from a squat to a stage, |
|
Strike Anywhere, spread it about like shareware. |
|
Anyone far beyond little pond, respond, |
|
Yet, this mindset; |
|
Preach the converted, yet we forget |
|
It's just Minor Threats and fanzines are |
|
Empty of meaning if we're not being UK. |
|
Stop pretending that it's not UK. |
|
Not America we're in UK. |
|
Got to sing it like we're from UK |
|
And maybe then we'll find a way. |
|
Look around, |
|
Do we have all the unity we sing of in this crowd? |
|
Revolution is more than sound. |
|
We're better together and still we're going nowhere, |
|
Can't see the wood for the scene. |
|
But in the spaces between lies the truth that we've got |
|
And it's bigger than punk rock. |
|
Round in circles. I can't see this. Revolution. |
|
More than just a sound. |
|
We're better together and still we're going nowhere, |
|
Can't see the wood for the scene. |
|
But in the spaces between lies the truth that we've got |
|
And it's bigger than punk rock. |
|
But in the spaces between lies the truth that we've got |
