Music:Punk

Nothing gold can stay...

- A New Found Glory

My whole life spent wondering who's hiding behind this face of mine.

- All

I really don't care about nothing at all, but I think the world of you

- All , "I Think The World" ( ? )

I won't pay for liberty, I think it should be free. You always wanna take so much but you won't be takin' me, no you won't be takin' me.

- Angelic Upstarts

Welcoming with open arms and with open hearts, in the end they found their arms in shacles and their hearts torn out. This country named "America" is built on graves of the natives who lived here before, genocide took place. "America," means "Freedom" as in, "Free to kill the free....."

- Anti-Flag

We're lookin' to start a new army...too smart to fight, too smart to die. We're looking to start a new army, too smart to fight, to smart to kill for you.

- Anti-Flag

First World War Veterans slaughtered by General Eisnehower You give them your life, they give you a stab in the back Radiation, agent orange, tested on U.S. souls Guinea pigs for Western corporations I never have, I never will Pledge allegiance to their flag You're getting used, you'll end up dead

- Anti-Flag

Indie sux, hardline sux, emo sux, you SUCK!

- Anti-Flag

we'll import a token jock and we'll kick his token ass and there'll never ever be a physical education class! I had a dream when I was in high school, that I attended the Punk Rock Academy!

- Atom And His Package

We can't buy more time, cause time won't accept our money.

- Bad Religion

Yeah, fuck me! I wish you all could fuck me!

- Billie Joe Armstrong

You've taken my thinking, my means of survival. You thrust in my hand your gun and your Bible. You told me to kill for the Lord up above. You taught me to hate when I know there is LOVE.

- Crass

fight war not wars, kill the power not the people

- Crass

Having been there in the 70's in L.A. isn't it amazing that the only ones that mattred are all dead- everyone else is in an imitatative state of a dying animal.

- Darby Crash, The Germs - 1980, Starwood Theatre

"Hey Frankie, you gonna give me your class ring?" "uhhhh, I'm afraid I can't do that Annette" "Well, why not?" "Because I don't have any arms....AHHHHHHH!"

We could blow this place up if we wanted to. We would set it all up!

punks not dead...it's just taking a nap

Drink! Feck! Arse! Girls!

- Drunken Irish Man At A Rancid Show.

I am a patient boy. I wait, I wait, I wait. My time, water down the drain.

- Fugazi

i wont back down or appoligize, i wont say that i'm sorry, i wont bend to your rule, i wont say that you're right.

- Future Garbagemen Of America

All over town the people resound with 'we just wanna be free' no other way to face the day, thats what it means to me. All of your life your under the knife, slaving to routine.

- Gc5

here i am, getting older all the time, looking older all the time, feeling younger in my mind

- Goldfinger

...And i'm feeling hurt, and I'v fought back some tears of my own. But there's something to be said for those who face the darkness alone...

- Good Riddance

I'm just a faded negative of the image i used to be.

- Greg Graffin

Guilty by association, Judged by who I know...If I couldn't keep all my friends I have trouble with, I've got no place to go!

- H2o

Remember how much fun you had shooting spitwads at the teacher in seventh grade? Imagine applying that kind of attitude to actually fucking with Mitsubishi!

- Jello Biafra

You won't get 'i love you baby' or 'suck my weewee' from me; i try to write interesting lyrics.

- Jello Biafra

Music is an indirect force for change, because it provides an anchor against human tragedy

- Jessie Michael, Operation Ivy

Everyone defines everyone else, well I don't give a fuck. Label me whatever the hell you want. I just want to be left alone. So I can wear my thrift shop clothes and not have mohawked hair or the most perfect spikes. So I can like whatever band I like. I know who I am, don't label me cause you can't tell me who to be. And if you don't think I'm "punk", I don't give a fuck. I won't be a clone.

- Jimmy Little, Lead Singer Of The Fuck Ups

I don't like saying, "You're a punk and you're not." There was a record out there called "Ca Plane pour Moi" by Plastic Bertrand, right? And I guarantee you if I had to play it for you right now you'd go, "Right! That is rockin!" Now, if you were to say to any sort of purist punk, "This is a good punk record," they'd get completely enraged. But Plastic Bertrand, whoever he was, compressed into that three minutes a bloody good record that will get any comatose person toe-tapping, you know what I mean? By purist rules, it's not allowed to even mention Plastic Bertrand. Yet, this record was probably a lot better than a lot of so-called punk records.

- Joe Strummer, The Clash

Maybe I'm a prehistoric monster by being an individual. It's highly likely. All I offer to others is their own individuality. Grab it!

- John Lydon

I don't need a Rolls Royce, I don't need a house in the country, I don't want to have to live in France. I don't have any rock and roll heroes; they're all useless. The Stones and The Who don't mean anything anymore; they're established. The Stones are more of a business than a band

- John Lydon

Destroy everything. That's all well and fine, but you got to offer something in it's place. Since I always have a point and purpose to what I do, thats why people accuse me of being calculated. it's the way I am. I always know my next move. I could never conjure up a death wish, this is all I have is life. I don't know what comes next, and frankly I'm in no rush to find out. I don't believe in playing a martyr just for the sheer hell of it. And for something as chidish as Rock 'N' Roll is not on.

- John Lydon

sometimes the most postive thing you can be in a boring society is absolutely negative.

- Johnny

Hey, man... what are we doing??? Oh... We're breakin' it down....

- Less Than Jake

If I could only have one thing for the rest of my life? That's easy... PEZ, Cherry flavored PEZ, no question about it.

- Less Than Jake

Don't Smoke. Don't Drink. Don't Fuck.

- Minor_threat

I never did home work after school. I did all things I thought were cool. I went out every friday night. I still do and I'm alright.

- Mxpx

I wish I had a schilling for every senseless killing - I'd buy a government.

- NOFX , "The Decline" ( ? )

At the Bill of Rights subrtact the wrongs, theres no answer. Memorize and sing star spangled songs.

- No F-X

Drugs are good, they make you do things that you know you not should.

- Nofx

The company mass producing fear. bottled, capped, distributed near and far, sold for a reasonable price. The people they love it they feed it. Brush with it, bathe with it, breathe it. Inject it direct to the blood. It seems to be replacing love.

- Nofx

Everyone knows im in love with a monosyllabic girl

- Nofx

Right about this time, some shithead is blowing a big fat fucking line across the title on the backsleave...WHAT AN ASSHOLE!

- Nofx

"he's more punk than me"

- Nofx

They have no face, no place for ears theres no clam eyes to cry clam tears. No spinal cord they must get bored might as well put them out of misery. Although the world could be less selfish I guess its alright to eat shellfish!

- Nofx "Clams Have Feelings Too" ( ? )

The sword of truth is just another weapon.

- Nomeansno (The Tower)

"My father told me "Son it's futile to resist. You can topple the ideology but not the armies they enlist." I questioned the intentions of the boy scouts chanting "WAR!" "Well, that's the sound of freedom, son", he said (free to say no more). But wait a minute "dad", did you actually say freedom? Well, if you're dumb enough to vote, you're fucking dumb enough to believe them. Because if this country is so goddamned free, then I can burn your fucking flag wherever I damn well please."

- Propagandhi

"..and yes I recognize the irony, the system I oppose affordrs me the luxury of biting the hand the feeds thats exactly why privalleged fucks like me, should feel obliged to whine and kick and scream, ya 'til everyone has everthing they need.

- Propagandhi

I can't believe what you say, do you really think that way? every time you talk tear the humain race limb, nazi skins and aryans pollute our land: screwdriver(dead), white pride(broken up) and warzome( not nazis) and other nazi bands they're a bunch of Fag-Bashinf Goons, Nationalist buffons and they don't even know what the fuck they're singing about at all.

- Propagandhi

I guess life is just a popularity contest. Success, the ability to perform within a framework of obedience. Just ask the candy-coated Joy-Cam rock-bands selling shoes for venture-capitalists, silencing competing messages, rounding off the jagged edges. Today is good day to die.

- Propagandhi

swastikas and klan-robes. sexist, racist, homophobes. aryan-nations and hammerskins: you can wear my nuts on your nazi chins! god, i love a man in uniform!

- Propagandhi

better lives have been lived in the margins, locked in the prisons and lost on the gallows than have ever been enshrined in palaces.

- Propagandhi

We'll never learn and nothing will ever change as long as we stay this course of followers and slaves. I can't believe we're still content reshuffling the same old decks of kings and queens and faux-democracies. I say we hand it back to the bullshit politicians. Brick by brick, wall by wallÖ

- Propagandhi

Ordinary people do fucked-up things when fucked-up things become ordinary.

- Propagandhi

No Secret Six will not do it all for the Nookie, Secret Six will not throw our hands in the air like we just don't care, Secret Six will not ba wida ba da bang da bang hoochie koochie, Secret Six will not be back after these messages from our corporate sponsors because Secret Six will not do it all for the Nookie.

- Secret Six

American audiences are just the same as any other audiences. Except a bit more boring.

- Sid Vicious

Punks not dead...it just sucks now

- Some T-Shirt

Any self-respecting punk rocker knows that christian punk is an oxymoron!

- Somebody Special

and you can form with the best of intention. Change comes from inside. And after all thats' what this country was founded on, do nothing different just fall in line.

- Sr71

I am living in a boring nation... I am living in a plastic nation.

- Sublime

man's inhumanity towards another man its man's insanity and ignorance again and now the time had come to stop whats going on the hatred's building up, exploding like a bomb

C'est ‡ la fin de la foire qu'on compte les bouses

- Tatie DaniËLe

And we say goodbye, and go underground or up towards the sky- up in smoke, burnt down to size. At least we're still friends. At least we're still alive.

- The Alkaline Trio

We hung out at the rainbow where we drank til' half past two. Nothing could go wrong anytime that I'm with you. Like crashing a hotel room or leading up to that first kiss Or searching for a high school that you know doesn't exist...

- The Ataris

Love is wrong, and girls are FUCKIN EVIL !!

- The Ataris

Every now and then I turn it on again But it's plain to see that The radio still sucks.

- The Ataris

Hey kid, it's a great big world out there that you think you need to see. Hey kid, go on and live that life, but live it without me!

- The Ataris

Well, maybe thatís the problem with punk, and the root of its hypocritical nature. The fact that it is no longer a statement at all. It is a deviation from the mainstream, but by deviating it only becomes itís own separate mainstream. Punks no longer shock people.

- The Creeps

Sixteen, on the honor roll I wish that I was dead Parents hate me, I got zits And bruises round my head Pressure's on to get good grates So I can be like them Do my homework all the time I can't go out just then People they ain;t friends at all They tease and suck me dry Yell at me when I fuck up And party while I cry I look so big on paper I feel so fucking small Wanna die and you don't care Just stride on down the hall Suicide suicide Read the paper, wonder why Turn the light out, then you cry It's your fault, you made me die Touch me won't you touch me now So frozen I can't love When I was born my mama cried And picked me up with gloves Girls, they kick me in the eye Want answers to the tests When they get them they drive off And leave me home to rest Hold my head Make me warm Tell me I am loved Give me hope Let me cry Make me feel Give me touch The window's broken bleeding screaming Lying in the hall I'm gone no one remembers me A picture on the wall 'He was such a bright boy The future in his hands...' - Or a spineless human pinball Shot around by your demands Suicide suicide Goin' to sleep and when I die You'll look up and realize Then look down and wipe your eyes Then go back to your stupid lives Aw shit

- The Dead Kennedys, "Straight A's" ( ? )

I don't wanna grow up

- The Descendents

I Like food, food tastes good. Juicy burgers, greasy fries, turkey legs and raw fish eyes. Teenage girl with ketchup too. Out of my way or i'll eat you! I'm gonna turn dining back into eating!

- The Descendents

And like i really deserve a chance to sit accross a table and tell you that i think you're wonderful and that I wish I could get to know you. I guess this is my only chance to say I wish I knew you, because I'm sure you're wonderful if I could get to know you.

- The Juliana Theory

Today at some point I awoke... Got up the nerve to... finally force a change To say the least, today's been strange Tonight I'll finally just relax Proud having finally faced the facts The facts forced me and I've concluded Tomorrow I'll be less polluted Finally I was forced to face Another first for me Finally I was forced to face And for the first time finally, I can see Finally I can see so clear For a moment don't mind me Finally I was forced to face Finally I was forced to face my fears.

- The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

Brains for breakfast, brains for lunch, brains for dinner, brains for brunch, brains at every single meal why can't we have some guts?

- The Misfits

Here I sit with no one near, I'm cryyyying in my beer. Love love love just ain't a game I play. Oh no, love love love just ain't a game I play.

- The Queers

I don't want no Spaghettios!

- The Ramones

I heard that life is a wheel and you can't make is stop, if you try it'll flatten your head. It's a circle of shit, we're in the middle of it, but soon we'll all be dead like everybody else tha'ts ever lived before, the things you make fall to the floor. Nobody knows how hard you tried, it's been that way since the start of time. There was a caveman did some amazing things, but nobody here gives a fuck. And in a thousand years, they'll feel the same towards all the things you've done. So don't worry what might give you cancer, stay up nights just wanting answers. It's just a crap chute, but it's mostly crap. Things start out, they're so teriffic, they'll fuck up, it's scientific. Entropy, uncertainty, won't yield to you.

- The Vandals

"Hey man how you doing today?" "Not bad man I'm doing ok." "How about you, are you doing alright?" "Well I got into a fight with my girl friend last night." "Thats too bad, what was it about?" "I lost my job and she just found out." "Your honey got runny when the money got funny?" "My honey got runny when the money got funny."

In 5 billion years, the sun will explode (its in the Bible) its a fact!
