Those Dumb Punk Kids (Will Buy Anything)

Punk's been dumbed down to just another form of TV

Marketed to shoppers spoonfed cartoon rebellion like sheep

Flock to worship any old school band

Who cares if they still care or if they're bad

Something new in town who wants to know?

And look at all the whores reunions for wrong reasons

Playing only songs from the good old days

About how bad the good old days were

So why not us? We don't even like this stuff no more

But look at all that retro-racket cash

Those dumb punk kids will buy anything

We'll sue the guy who wrote the songs

So we can sell them into commercials

Steal the name and hit the road trashing all our band stood for

We won't rehearse, sound worse

Dig up some old child star Who never learns the words

Hey, we're back Show us how much you care

The merch booth's right over there

And if our scam works What a bandwagon it will be

Malcolm in the Middle in the Misfits or Mary Kate and Ashley

Gary Coleman in Black Flag Courtney in Nirvana at last

And Emmanuel Lewis back in action singing for the Germs

When will it end? When people see this for what it is

Rock and Roll Swindle Pistols backed a thief

So how bout Kenny Boy Lay In Dead Kennedys

Because those dumb punk kids will buy anything
