let's inherit the earth
cos no-one else is taking it
come on do your worst
before the moment's passed
in bedrooms across england
and all the western world
there's posters and there's magazines
cos music isn't ours
cause we write love songs in C
and we do politics in G
we sing songs about our friends in e minor
so turn out the stars now and take up your guitars
and come on folks and try this at home
lets stop waiting around
for someone to patronise us
lets hammer out a sound that speaks of where we've been
forget about the haircuts and stupid skinny jeans
were stamping down the irony
the media's fanzines
cause we write love songs in C
and we do politics in G
we sing songs about our friends in e minor
so turn out the stars now and take up your guitars
and come on folks and try this at home
because the only thing that punk rock should ever really mean
is not sitting round and waiting for the lights to go green
and not thinking that youre better cause you're stood up on a stage
and if you're oh so f****** different then who cares what you have to say
cause theres no such thing as rock stars
they're just people who play music
and some of them are just like us
and some of them are d***s
so quick turn off your stereo
pick up your pen and paper
yeah you could do much better than
some skinny half a***d english country singer
so we write love songs in C
and we do politics in G
we do songs about our friends in e minor
so turn out the stars now and take up your guitars
and come on folks and try this at ho-o-me
cos no-one else is taking it
come on do your worst
before the moment's passed
in bedrooms across england
and all the western world
there's posters and there's magazines
cos music isn't ours
cause we write love songs in C
