The Seperation Of Church And Skate Lyrics

[Father:] Hey Kids! [Kids:] Hey Dad! [Father:] What'da want to do today? [Kids:] We don't know. [Father:] Wanna go to the matinee? [Kids:] NO! [Father:] Wanna go to the Amusement Park? [Kids:] NO! [Father:] Wanna go to the punk rock show? [Kids:] Yeah! Let's go to the punk rock show! Lost in a sea of combat boots. flush the bouncers with wasted youth. When did punk rock become so safe? When did the scene become a joke? The kids who used to live for beer and speed, Now want their fries and coke Cursing and flipping birds are not allowed In fact lets keep noise levels down. Must seperate the church and skate. Why don't we put pads on the kids? Helmets head gear and mouth pieces. Then we could pad the floor and walls Put cameras inside bathroom stalls We make sure only nice bands play Make every show a matinee Teach kids to be all they can be Then we could sing my country tis of thee Sweet land of liberty When did punk rock become so safe? I know it wasn't duane or Fletcher Who put up the barricades. Like a stake in the heart. Somehow we got driven apart I want conflict i want dissent I want the scene to represent Our hatred of authority or fight against complacency Stop singing songs about girls and love you killed the owl you freed the dove Confrontation and politics Replaced with harmonies and sticks When did punk rock become so tame These fucking bands all sound the same We want our fights we want our thugs We want our burns we want our drugs where is the violent apathy This fuckin' records are rated G When did punk rock become so save
