Punk Passing Video (MV)

I do not smoke cigarettes
And never have I ever been placed under arrest
But I was a punk since the day I could say f*ck off

Got a corporate job, fare a corporate wage
No convictions means none to betray
And I go to your shows, but not to talk

Oh, life's not hard on me
Straight white man, punk passing
My parents adore me
Made no sacrifice for your social scene
But when I go to your shows
I'm dancing twice as hard so you won't know

That I don't have one single tattoo
Didn't get f*cked up until I turned 22
Straight A student and valedictorian

Now I'll go to your show looking like a hipster
This girl in your band, how on earth do I talk to her?
I'm like, "How long have you been playing accordion?"

Oh, it's not hard on me
Straight white man, punk passing
No one treads on me
I don't deserve your solidarity
But when I go to your shows
I'm dancing twice as hard so you won't know

For ten long years I'd wake up each day
Say, "Today's the day that something has to break"
I love you all I'm just not a victim

Of those good old boys in their trucks talking shit
I just love punk rock and I love punk kids
You all have so much love to give

But life's not hard on me
Straight white man, punk passing
Don't get weird looks in the street
Unaffected by a Trump presidency
But when I go to your shows
I'm dancing twice as hard so you won't know

But when I go to your shows
I'll dance ten times as hard just to let you know
