(continue w/ lyrics)
Have you visited the quagmire, have you swam in the shit?
The party conventions and the real politik
The faces always different, the rhetoric the same
But we swallow it all and we see nothing changed
Nothing has changed
This is just a punk rock song
Written for the people who can see something's wrong
Like workers in a factory, we do our share
But there's so many other fucking robots out there
This is just a punk rock song
[C#]10 [E]mi[B]ll[F#]ion dollars on a losing campaign
[C#]20 [E]mi[B]ll[F#]ion starving and writhing in pain
[C#]Big[E] s[B]tr[F#]ong people unwilling to give
[C#]Sma[E]ll[B] i[B]n vision and perspective
One in five kids below the poverty line
One population runnin' out of time
Runnin' outta time
This is just a punk rock song
Written for the people who can see something's wrong
Like ants in a colony, we do our share
But there's so many other fucking insects out there
This is just a punk rock song
