Lyrics

Punks Not Dead

Punk's not dead!

Say to me that punk is dead

I wish you even more contempt

Don't like the music, don't like the words

You can all piss off, you're a bunch of turds

Punk's not dead, I know

Punk's not dead, I know

Punk's not dead, I know

Punk's not dead, I know it's not

We're all punks and we don't care

We're boot boys who dye our hair

Leather jackets, DM boots

Run about every night

Punk's not dead, I know

Punk's not dead, I know

Punk's not dead, I know

Punk's not dead, I know it's not

Punk's not dead, I know

Punk's not dead, I know

Punk's not dead, I know

Punk's not dead, I know it's not

[Guitar solo]

We refuse to hear the lie

Have no fear till the day I die

Swearing at yooz who walk around

Don't like it, I'll hit you to the ground

Punk's not dead, I know

Punk's not dead, I know

Punk's not dead, I know

Punk's not dead, I know it's not

Punk's not dead, I know

Punk's not dead, I know

Punk's not dead, I know

Punk's not dead, I know it's not
