Screeching Weasel - Punk Rock Explained Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • ou start out with a punk rock band just trying to have fun
  • Your lousy seven inch is not impressing anyone
  • You get you first show and you're ready to go when you're stopped by the firechief
  • Do not pass go do not collect your ten bucks gas money
  • But pretty soon you're playing almost constantly
  • You buy a crappy rusted out old van
  • You leave your mom's house happy to be on your own
  • And move in with the rest of your band
  • You get a record deal with a big label on the coast
  • You feel important as you eat your Ramen and your toast
  • Your money is spent and you can't pay the rent but you're having a gay old time
  • You don't have cash for food but you still get drunk every night
  • The local fanzines all start wanting interviews
  • And then you're in Maximum Rock n' Roll
  • Your record starts to sell and you get paid for it
  • But the fun's just starting now hit the road
  • The merchandise is selling out you're the talk of the scene
  • The profit margins far exceed your most orgasmic dreams
  • But touring feels wrong when they're shouting out songs or punching you in the mouth
  • The ones who don't want your autograph scream at you that you've sold out
  • You wonder why you ever got involved in this
  • You find yourself despising all your fans
  • Your appointments with accountants and your lawyers are
  • More important than the stupid punk band
  • You come out with a half assed record made too fast
  • You hate your band and they think you're a jerk
  • And suddenly you're not the hottest thing around
  • It's time for a career in spoken word
