00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:03.790
Oi, hey look, that guy with the green hair, he's a punk rocker!

00:00:03.790 --> 00:00:06.500
Look! Look, he's even telling everybody!

00:00:07.650 --> 00:00:08.990
You fucking hippie!

00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:16.300
I know it’s hypocritical to point fingers at the people who point fingers.

00:00:16.360 --> 00:00:19.060
But when we all march to the beat of the same different drummer,

00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:21.560
the steps start to come off like clockwork.

00:00:23.350 --> 00:00:25.590
I guess I’m saying we could stand to be nicer.

00:00:28.790 --> 00:00:32.540
Because when you’re in a basement talking shit and interspersing it with speaking in namedrops and units,

00:00:32.540 --> 00:00:34.460
I must admit I’m not the best when on the defensive.

00:00:34.460 --> 00:00:36.360
I’d rather steal your whiskey than your heart in conversation.

00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:38.170
I’d rather break three strings a song then stick to a routine

00:00:38.170 --> 00:00:40.220
like I’m ripe for the picking after growing on a tree

00:00:40.220 --> 00:00:42.230
and then talk about the industry, cross-market positivity

00:00:42.230 --> 00:00:44.280
with vinyl nerds and brightly colored, quirky messy record sleeves.

00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:46.410
I’d rather be vomiting and I despise vomiting.

00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:51.590
But thanks for the beer. I appreciate your time but can we talk about something else?

00:00:51.780 --> 00:00:54.160
If you really think that you and I are on the same page you can

00:00:54.160 --> 00:00:55.500
go ahead and fuck yourself!

00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:57.610
Because you’ve got coke and good looks,

00:00:57.610 --> 00:00:59.790
I’ve got overdue library books

00:00:59.790 --> 00:01:02.100
so let’s be friends and change the subject now.

00:01:02.100 --> 00:01:03.390
‘Cause the last thing I wanna be

00:01:03.570 --> 00:01:05.530
is another negative asshole.

00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:07.510
Like God speaks through my acoustic guitar

00:01:07.510 --> 00:01:09.480
and I’ve got the perfect set of morals

00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:11.740
on a dry erase board at the front of the house,

00:01:11.740 --> 00:01:13.740
FOLLOW THESE CONDITIONS OR WE’LL KICK YOUR ASS OUT:

00:01:13.740 --> 00:01:14.740
Vegans only,

00:01:14.740 --> 00:01:15.630
NO MEAT ALLOWED!

00:01:15.630 --> 00:01:16.470
Straight edge only,

00:01:16.470 --> 00:01:17.590
NO DRINKING ALLOWED!

00:01:17.590 --> 00:01:18.490
Fixed gears only,

00:01:18.490 --> 00:01:19.590
NO THREE-SPEEDS ALLOWED!

00:01:19.590 --> 00:01:21.930
Me me me!!! I’M SMART! I’M RIGHT! I’M SMART!

00:01:21.930 --> 00:01:23.410
I think it’s dumb when you take the inherently fun

00:01:23.410 --> 00:01:25.360
like riding bikes and singing songs and say they’re not for everyone

00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:27.880
as if for your whole life you were cool as shit.

00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:29.220
Punk tourist!

00:01:29.220 --> 00:01:31.200
‘Cause you still beg for cash cause you spent your parents’ last

00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:33.010
on a Greyhound to the Fest.

00:01:33.020 --> 00:01:35.010
And your jacket says Crass but I don’t give an ass,

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:36.640
I ain’t giving you fifty cents,

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:38.950
so that you can buy a forty and

00:01:38.950 --> 00:01:40.700
destroy a hotel party,

00:01:40.700 --> 00:01:43.310
and the man who cleans your mess up shrugs and says:

00:01:43.310 --> 00:01:46.090
This non-conformity looks like conformity.

00:01:46.820 --> 00:01:49.860
Like boring nice people pose threats to your authority.

00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.090
This positivity is negativity.

00:01:55.110 --> 00:01:57.830
And you boys sure left me with a mess to clean!

00:01:58.730 --> 00:01:59.810
Smile big, hug bigger.

00:01:59.810 --> 00:02:00.700
Talk big, act bigger.

00:02:00.700 --> 00:02:01.710
Stop judging, do something.

00:02:01.710 --> 00:02:02.620
Shut the fuck up, do something.

00:02:02.620 --> 00:02:04.430
Instead of sneering at my friends and me ‘cause we’re not stealing

00:02:04.430 --> 00:02:06.560
buy a troubled friend a drink at the bar and tip well.

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:08.400
Don’t spend your time scoffing when do that you’re just scoffing

00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:10.300
like the people who scoff at us while defending our community.

00:02:10.300 --> 00:02:12.320
You’re a teacher, you’re a parent, you’re the head of a dictatorship.

00:02:12.320 --> 00:02:14.570
When the ground is covered up in rules you’re guaranteed to power trip.

00:02:14.590 --> 00:02:17.370
This non-conformity looks like conformity.

00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:21.110
Why should anyone believe in our community?

00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:24.340
This organization doesn’t feel like

00:02:24.340 --> 00:02:25.760
A-NA-RCHY

00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:26.370
cuz

00:02:26.370 --> 00:02:28.890
we’re suiting up to have the same identity!

00:02:28.890 --> 00:02:30.340
And the boring nice people say:

00:02:30.380 --> 00:02:31.940
SHUT UP THE PUNX! SHUT UP THE PUNX!

00:02:31.940 --> 00:02:34.270
All the people who have barbecues to feed their friends and family:

00:02:34.270 --> 00:02:35.840
SHUT UP THE PUNX! SHUT UP THE PUNX!

00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.090
All the people writing zines with information, not just blaming things:

00:02:38.090 --> 00:02:39.750
SHUT UP THE PUNX! SHUT UP THE PUNX!

00:02:39.750 --> 00:02:42.120
All the boys and girls who are fed up with just saying that we’re punk, we say,

00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.210
SHUT UP THE PUNX! SHUT UP THE PUNX!
