Ten Years On... Lyrics

Now the time has come for taking stock of changes
Punk ain´t done - just great how far it reaches
Look at us, it´s our way - from the heart is what we play
still part of what used to be a dead end generation
For ten years now this band´s our company
it may be us who ruined ourselves, but no one else
And even if we wasted all away
just be aware of what we`ve left to say...

[Chorus:]
TEN YEARS ON and nothing changed us
the memory´s all we got of this
TEN YEARS ON and as skint as could be
Some have crossed us from their list
called us commie and fascist
TEN YEARS ON our flag still waves
and punk´s our only creed
(But still our banner´s waved
for what punk used to be)

Playing for kicks - this band don´t pay no wages
signed dole cheques for sweating up on stages
Though it´s fun no one´s to pay for your flats if you´re away
If we made no cent today you´d say that´s punkrock anyway
Some times were really hard as hard can be
and those who tried to pull us down got no remorse
And even if we wasted all away
just be aware there´s something left to say...

For ten years now this band´s our company
and those who tried to pull us down got no remorse
And even if we called it all a day
just be aware cos we´re still running free...
