You came here for the music but never had a clue
You boycott every band that doesn't think the way that you do
You're just another preacher tryin' to water down the flame
If punk is dead then you're the one to blame
A kid is not a nazi just because he shaves his head
A kid is not a commie just because the way he voted
You say that we are different but the witch hunt is the same
If punk is dead then you're the one to blame
If punk is dead then you're the one to blame
If punk is dead then you're the one to blame
You may not be a cop but you're a bastard just the same
If punk is dead then you're the one to blame
You talk about the 70s from Stiv to Siouxsie Sioux
It's cool to be offensive 'til the minute they offend you
You try to play the victim, point fingers and complain
If punk is dead then you're the one to blame
It's more than a religion. It's tangible and true
Freedom over all no matter what they think about you
So take your coward culture, by any other name
If punk is dead then you're the one to blame
If punk is dead then you're the one to blame
If punk is dead then you're the one to blame
You may not be a cop but you're a bastard just the same
If punk is dead then you're the one to blame
This life ain't for the timid. It's brutal and obscene
The stories I could tell are just a glimpse of what I've seen
So if you're into 'safe' you best remember what I said
Be safe and stay in bed
If punk is dead then you're the one to blame
If punk is dead then you're the one to blame
You may not be a cop but you're a bastard just the same
If punk is dead then you're the one to blame
