G A# I know it’s hypocritical to point fingers at the people who point fingers. G A# But when we all march to the beat of the same different drummer, G A# yeah the steps start to come off like clockwork. G A# I guess I’m saying we could stand to be nicer C because when you’re in a basement talking shit C# and interspersing it with speaking in namedrops and units, G I must admit I’m not the best when on the defensive. A# I’d rather steal your whiskey than your heart in conversation. G I’d rather break three strings a song then stick to a routine A# like I’m ripe for the picking after growing on a tree C and then talk about the industry, cross-market positivity A with vinyl nerds and brightly colored, quirky messy record sleeves. D C Am I’d rather be vomiting and I despise vomiting. Blugh. [Chorus] G But thanks for the beer. C I appreciate your time but can we talk about something else? G If you really think that you and I are on the same page B C you can go ahead and fuck yourself. E C Because you’ve got coke and good looks, E C I’ve got overdue library books E C G so let’s be friends and change the subject now. [Verse] A# ‘Cause the last thing I wanna be is another negative asshole. G Like God speaks through my acoustic guitar A# and I’ve got the perfect set of morals C on a dry erase board at the front of the house. C#m FOLLOW THESE CONDITIONS OR WE’LL KICK YOUR ASS OUT: G Vegans only: NO MEAT ALLOWED! A# Straight edge only: NO DRINKING ALLOWED! G Fixed gears only: NO THDE- SPEEDS ALLOWED! A# Me me me!!!: I’M SMART! I’M RIGHT! I’M SMART! C A I think it’s dumb when you take the inherently fun like riding bikes and singing songs and say they’re not for everyone D C A as if for your whole life you were cool as shit. “Punk tourist!” [Chorus] G C ‘Cause you still beg for cash cause you spent your parents’ last on a Greyhound to the Fest G B C and your jacket says Crass but I don’t give an ass I’m not giving you fifty cents E C E C so that you can buy a forty and destroy a hotel party E C and the man who cleans your mess up shrugs and says, G C “This nonconformity looks like conformity, Em D# like boring nice people pose threats to your authority. G C This positivity is negativity Em D# and you boys sure left me with a mess to clean.” G Smile big, hug bigger. Talk big, act bigger. C Stop judging do something, shut the fuck up do something. G Instead of sneering at my friends and me ‘cause we’re not stealing B C buy a troubled friend a drink at the bar and tip well. G Don’t spend your time scoffing when you do that you're just C scoffing like the people who scoff at us while defending our community. G You’re a teacher, you’re a parent, you’re the head of a dictatorship. B C When the ground is covered up in rules you’re guaranteed to power trip. [Bridge] G C This nonconformity looks like conformity. Em D# Why should anyone believe in our community? G C This organization doesn’t feel like anarchy ‘cause Em D# we’re suiting up to have the same identity and the boring nice people say, G C “Shut up the punx!”x2 All the people who have barbecues to feed their friends and family, D# A# “Shut up the punx!”x2 All the people writing signs with information, not just blaming things, G C “Shut up the punx!”x2 All the boys and girls are fed up with just saying that we’re punk, we say, D# A# “Shut up the punx!” “Shut up the punx!”
