	YOU’RE ONLY PUNK ONCE You ate and you smoked and you drank all your words We all know it's true because of the rumors we've heard You've grown up and moved on, you're ready to leave But not a thing that you do can touch what I believe So someone has gone and sold out punk rock You know it's happened before so why all the shock? It's so clear to see that it was never meant to be And that's O.K., what they do now will not change me It now seems so clear who could have guessed at the time It was just like a miracle they turned from water to wine Raising their glasses they say they feel fine They've all turned their backs, but I will never turn mine You're only punk once so you'd better do it right Before you become the system that we all choose to fight You say "nothing lasts forever we are wasting our time We should not even try" But I say I'll stay positive until the day I die BEAT THE MEAT You sit and face your final meal, you'll be the first to blink A reminder that you're still alive Frightened of this thing you feel but still you start to think What price for you to survive? Join us! We need all the help we can get Together! We'll hedge our karmic bets Join us! Self-righteousness is fun Together! We'll convert everyone It's time we all saw the truth I can't believe we've come so far, there's so much more to go And it looks like things are up to us It doesn't matter where you are, it only matters what you know It's time we said enough's enough Speaking for a species that can't speak I'm talking about the slaughter of the innocent and the weak I call it a crime and now it's time to make a change You know we're ready to rearrange I'm on one mission, to kill an old tradition Make a meat-eater like a black and white television It's time to take the dying out of what we eat So get out of your seat Because it's time to beat the meat IN DEFENSE OF ALL LIFE Peaceful protest doesn't get the job done So I wake up for the rally grab my soy milk and my gun Breakfast with the family get the grub on see what's up Then I saw my sister had milk in her cup I jumped out of my chair and sprayed her with my mace I yelled "vegan power,” and I kicked her in the face Dad was bugging, he started to run But he's a meat eater so I pulled out my gun Shot him in the back, then I shot his wife That's how it's got to be in defense of all life. VICTORY RECORDS SUCK Back in the day in the '80s when the old bands would play (old school) They managed O.K. They did fine Although they never got paid (that's cool) 50 cent shows, no cars we walked Both ways through the snow (up hill) That's how it should go, but you're too busy Counting your dough (each bill) If you want to be punk, if you want to be cool Don't forget the golden rule Stay underground, you must stay poor Don't grow up and don't ask for more You live for the green, dead presidents Are destroying our scene (money) You know what I mean, you pay your rent By selling the dream (for me) No Individual Retirement Account Forget you and your 401K (wall street) I'm gonna stay as poor As I am today (can't eat) You can't be punk if you don't care that dollar signs are everywhere It seems like everyone's on Victory But I will give away all that's mine, and we won't make another dime Money changes everything, you see But I won't let it change me.

WHO SHARES WINS As kids we’re told to always play fair Smile at your neighbor And share, share, share In later years we’re taught To try and be the best ”Look out for yourself, and fuck all the rest" Well, I would say in many ways We learned much more in younger days. the obvious things were all so plain to see Like two for you and two for me If there are only four I don’t need three That’s just how the world should be You must remember the way When things are up in the air It’s like the word of the day And today’s word is fair If you’ve got two kidneys It means you have one to spare Because the people who win Are the people who share The scene is like a playground From back in the day Jump, swing, scream, yell, play, play, play Pick you up if you fall down And you’ll do the same Look out for each other It’s the name of the game Go to shows, trust your friends And the fun just never ends The obvious things are so plain to see Like two for you and two for me If there are only four I don’t need three If I want to make cookies And you have the tins Then we’ll eat together Because who shares wins If I have the ball And you have the pins Then we’ll bowl together Because who shares wins If I have the helmets And you have the Schwinns Then we’ll bike together Because who shares wins If I’m down with straightedge And you’re down with skins Then we’ll mosh together Because who shares wins COLL-EDGE Someday you will look back in fear On all the time that you spent here And at that moment You’ll wish you hadn’t spent All your book money on beer Your friends are high, your grades are low Couldn’t shake a stick at what you know But when it comes to blood alcohol You get a 4.0 Your eyes are red Your lungs are black Stabbed us all right in the back How could you sell out like that Try to fit in with everyone If you don’t drink in the dorms Then you’re no fun You swore true til death But you’re still young Not even true til twenty-one When you went to school I learned for sure If you aren’t now you never were And if you have a single conviction You don’t know what it’s for Your eyes are red Your lungs are black Stabbed us all right in the back How could you sell out like that To see the bands you never go You don’t support the bands You used to know Here’s a hint in case you’re slow Lollapalooza is not a show You lost the edge and that’s not the worst The sad thing is you’re not the first Our friendship’s done, it really hurts But maybe I could have All of your old shirts Your Wide Awake record and Chung King too They can’t be worth that much to you Maybe this is not so bad Because now i own all the things you had You swore you’d be edge to eternity But now you're pledging a fraternity Your eyes are red Your lungs are black Stabbed us all right in the back How could you sell out like that A SONG FOR THE LADIES Don't settle for second best, don't follow all the rest You say you want the same things well let's put it to the test Because talk is so cheap when you are screaming at a wall And it is really hard to hear when you're the loudest of them all If you want to change the world, quit all your yapping If we don't start it here, well then it's never going to happen There is evil in this world but it begins right at home So let's clean house, then let's cast the first stone You think equal rights means equal hits (We're sick of all your tough guy shit) As you leave the show with the people you've hurt (You wonder where you left your shirt) Your a big tough guy and your dance moves are great (Strong as an ox, dumber then slate) Your new tattoos they look first rate (You wonder why you can't get a date) Sexism sucks! It didn't end in the 80's And hardcore still needs another song for the ladies Girlfriends are great, please don't get me wrong But it's time to put down that coat and come sing along Because I can't hear your voice from the back of the crowd Move to the front, and shout it out loud Keep your eyes on the prize, you know what I mean If we can't change the world, then let's change the scene Second class kids in the scene where we all live I'm angry as hell, but I still stay positive We'll fight this fight and I know we can do it If there's a wall in our way, just watch us go through it Because it's time to realize that we're all in the same boat If you think you're so tough, then here, hold your own coat Get it through your head that I don't want your chivalry Get it through your head: I'm not here for you to fuck me Times have changed, but you would never know Not from looking at the people and their places at a show So raise your voice, join the struggle for equality My dream for the scene, one word: UNITY!
