The Punks Are Alright Lyric
65 ViewsI don't want no foreign pricks to take my job away from me
My tax dollars paid their ransom, would they do the same for me?
I don't, I don't want them in my home
I don't, I don't want them finding me alone
They're commies, sub-human subversives
They're commies, human living curses
They got nowhere to go so let them drown
I don't want them around so let them drown
Let's bomb the boats and feed the fish
Gulls peck flesh from rancid stiffs decaying on the deep blue sea
Bits and pieces here and there, bomb them far from my country
Do you, do you want them in your home
Do you, do you want them finding you alone?
They're commies, sub-human subversives
They are commies, human living curses
They got nowhere to go so let them blow
They got nowhere to go so let them blow
I don't want them around so let them drown
Let's bomb the boats and feed the fish. Bomb the boats and feed the fish.
Bomb the boats and feed the fish. Bomb the boats and feed their fucking flesh to the fish.
Every time I think of her, I close my eyes.
She was a velvet doll, she was a punk rocker.
When I walked off stage I fell in love with her.
I stared at her from across the bar - I want her near to me.
So close and dear to me.
Later that night she asked me home, so I took her home where we were all alone.
I think of her, when she's not around.
I think of her, when she's in the underground.
I think of her, when she's not in town.
I think of her.
I held her tight as she clutched my hand.
Can you understand? I gotta be her man.
She became special to me just in a night.
You see the dreams we have, the dreams we shared.
The for awhile, for about a week we played a silly adult game of hide and seek.
But now I gotta have that girl to be with me forever. Baby!
I think of her, when she's not around.
I think of her, when she's in the underground.
I think of her, when she's not in town.
I think of her.
Every new government's more expensive than the last,
watch the fresh ways they have to waste our taxes fast.
You can try to hang me. I'll make sure the rope gets broke.
Proving once again, this country's justice is a joke.
I'm in love with the system, always all alone.
I'm in love with the system, never going home.
I'm in love with the system, never find no work.
I'm in love with the system not myself.
He don't care for issues like national unity,
or conscription, or who owns the fleur de lis.
Donnez lui ce quils ont choisiraient.
Vive la Quebec Libre et vive les separatistes.
He's in love with the system, always all alone.
He's in love with the system, never going home.
He's in love with the system, never finds no work.
He's in love with the system, what a jerk.
He thinks unemployment is the government's fault.
He wants to bring the system to a crashing halt.
He wants something to do. He needs money today.
Working at the post office just to strike for higher pay.
He's in love with the system, always all alone.
He's in love with the system, never going home.
He's in love with the system, never finds no work.
He's in love with the system not himself. [repeated]
I don't mind another guy fucking with my girl
If he does, she can get the hell out of my world
Get it into your head, all your morals are dead
I'm your leader instead 'cause the punks are alright
Sometimes, I feel like it's not worth trying
There's times when I can't even bother crying
Get it into your head, rock and roll has gone dead
I'm a punk and it's me instead 'cause the punks are alright
You know, I can't help feeling pissed off
There's days when I feel like getting lost
I don't mind some bureaucrats trying to rip me off
I got their number and I just might have them tossed
'Cause they'll lead us to hell, but we'll all live to tell
It's their time to bid farewell 'cause the punks are alright
The punks are alright.
