Punky Brüster - Fake Punk lyrics

"ZEPPELIN!"

This here's a song about the things
You don't find in nature
This here's a tale about
Conditions of the head
At one time I wanted to
Expand my education but
Now I'll make more money if
I dye my hair instead

'Cause I've gotta be more punk
And forget about writing love songs
And even though I'm a
Middle class white Canadian
God knows I've been done wrong
'Cause I'm a fake punk! I'm a fake punk!
I'll even use a dirty word
I'll even write a mean song
I'll even take a mean picture
'Cause I've got the hair for it!
I've always tried to dig myself
Out of the sewer i've always strived to be a
Little bit more well-read
But oh no! Here comes that
Rock press interviewer so
I'll just look real tough and
Say fuck a lot instead

I'd be alright if I could just
Hang out with my girlfriend
I'd be just fine if they would
Close down all the bars
And maybe one day I'll join
A protest against smoking
But when it comes to sincere
Angst you can just leave me the fuck alone!
