Punk Rock Baby
When I came outta my momma, they cut the umbilical cordI thought, Hey man, what're you doin'? And I let out a mighty roarI got my first piercing when they stabbed me with a pin,Pumped me full of something and hit me in the shinEver since that moment I've just been full of scornI've been a punk rock baby since the day that I was bornI got my first Mohawk at the age of one,Stole my old man's razor and then the job was doneI got a leather jacket at the age of two,Put spikes all over it with some superglueI started scratchin' at my pants until they were all tornI've been a punk rock baby since the day that I was bornI picked up my first electric guitar at the age of three,Turned the volume up just as high as it could beI yelled into the mic about all the things I feltAbout this nasty world and the cards we've all been dealtAbout the toxic sludge that made me angry and forlornI've been a punk rock baby since the day that I was bornI dropped out of nursery school at the age of four,I said, Hey this place is boring, I am goin' out the doorI headed straight downtown, sat down in the park,Met some other punks, stayed out 'til way past dark Partied 'til the dawn, came back home in the mornSongtexteI've been a punk rock baby since the day that I was bornI moved into a squat at the age of five,Behind the barricades I waited for the cops to arriveI climbed onto the roof and said, Here's where I'm gonna stayAnd I'm gonna be a rebel until I'm old and grayBetween the toes of your establishment I'll always be a thornI've been a punk rock baby since the day that I was born,I've been a punk rock baby since the day that I was born Aus Songtexte Mania
