lyrics

Received my hardcore rulebook in 1991
And I flicked through the pages
But I only picked the parts that mattered
My first step on the ladder...
Bought a shit guitar and I started up a band
And we practiced real hard
And showed plenty of signs of improvement
Yeah, we were part of a movement....

Well this ain't no longer my town
Some other kid is wearing my crown
Where have all the rebels gone and where's the original sound?
So when the clock strikes 12
I'm gonna burn this city down

I made some friends for life, but many enemies
Thought I was punching above weight
But I was boxing clever
I never gave up ever
Filled with rock n' roll dreams and impossible schemes
I knew I had to get out of town
Before they got their claws in me
Like smoke up a chimney....
