The Positive Junk

The backlash has started, but we ain't fucking laughing

Take a look at how much has changed, there ain't much to smile about

We've done four years of begging and a lot longer struggling

Well ain't it about time, we took back what is ours

Punk formed as a movement to set right what was wrong

The opposing side said no, we're right, you're wrong

They controlled our bands with money and they all sucked off our sweat

Well that's the fucking lesson we never must forget

The time moved on and rebellion just seemed to be a bore

As one by one the leaders collapsed, the money bought the whore

Time and time again, we heard new promises were made

But words was all it was, the action was delayed

They tried to salvage something, but the mistake was already done

With CBS and EMI backing what went on

Those tears upon the stage, we heard they all came from the heart

And if we all stood together, it would just be the start

Well the start just never happened, as our hopes ran down the drain

Now take a good look, you'll see its happening again

The punk movement once strong, once offering real change

Is searching fame and fortune, and that just ain't the fucking way

Punk is still our movement; we can put right what is wrong

By learning to say no, we're right, you're wrong

Fuck their fucking future, it means oppression, war and hate

It's time to turn the tables around and recreate the state
