Crass - Punk Is Dead (live) Lyrics
Yes that's right, punk is deadIt's just another cheap product for the consumers headBubblegum rock on plastic transistorsSchoolboy sedition backed by big time promotersCBS promote the ClashAin't for revolution, it's just for cashPunk became a fashion just like hippy used to beAin't got a thing to do with your or meMovements are systems and systems killMovements are expressions of the public willPunk became a movement cos we all felt lostLeaders sold out and now we all pay the costPunk narcissism was a social napalmSteve Jones started doing real harmPreaching revolution, anarchy and changeSucked from the system that had given him his nameWell I'm tired of staring through shit stained glassTired of staring up a superstars arseI've got an arse and crap and a nameI'm just waiting for my fifteen minutes fameSteven Jones, you're napalmIf you're so pretty vacant, why do you smarm?Patti Smith, you're napalm, your write with your handBut it's Rimbaud's armAnd me, yes, I, do I want to burn?Is there something I can learn?Do I need a business man to promote my angleCan I resist the carrots that fame and fortune dangleI see the velvet zippies in their bondage gearThe social elite with safetypins in their earI watch and understand that it don't mean a thingThe scorpions might attack, but the systems stole the stingPUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD
