about

im no punk what am i saying

lyrics

youre not a punk
if you frequent the gay bars
that feed those booze abuse statistics
that you love to share and spout

you arent an anarchist
bc you want to spit at cops
but never do bc of fear
that they are gonna shout at you,

the skinny motherfucker
who looks more normal than me
with your big fears of commitment
disguised as polyamory

you arent a punk
just bc you dont like trump
bc who does except your family
who youll rebel against

youre not an anarchist
your thoughts on politicians
arent unique, they are all terrible
and cause everyones angst

the pale ass motherfucker
like a ritz in mayonaise
wholl be safe forever in their progressive bubble
until they float away

so go home,
youre drunk on someone else's scene
trying your best to gentrify their poverty
you might be somewhat different
but youre still just like me
trying to shove your string bean body
where everyone will see
so just go home
just go home
dont throw those devil horns at me

youre not a punk
bc you have like 18 girlfriends
and you dont love any one of them
cuz sex is more hardcore

youre not an anarchist
just cuz you say "fuck the system"
when the fact is you dont get the same
life privilege anymore

and you, you half assed motherfucker
need to get your head out of your ass
and while i agree on principle, theres no way you cant say
that youre not middle class

im not a punk
but at least i can admit
that daddy pays for rent and college
and i squander it on cigs

im not an anarchist
but then again is anyone?
dont act like its attainable
at some lame house show gig

and i, im just some motherfucker
who can tell the truth consistently
and i acknowledge my facade is a facade
so if youre gonna imitate
try to imitate me!!

so go home,
youre drunk on someone else's scene
trying your best to gentrify their poverty
you might be somewhat different
but youre still just like me
trying to shove your string bean body
where everyone will see
so just go home
just go home
dont throw those devil horns at me

dont be stupid
understand this is what you get
when your friends realize
that every word you speak is full of shit

we are not punks
but at least im slightly closer
bc punks all value honesty
i bet you had no idea thats a thing

so go home,
youre drunk on someone else's scene
trying your best to gentrify their poverty
you might be somewhat different
but youre still just like me
trying to shove your string bean body
where everyone will see
so just go home
drink your pbr alone
just go home
dont throw those devil horns at me
