I'm caught in a f*****' time warp
the styles never changing the music
all sounds the same
what ever happened to
the punk rock of the past
well now here we are
to bring it back at last
[Chorus:]
here's to the spirit of ' 77
and havin' fun in a punk rock band
here's to the spirit of ' 77
and the punk rock of the past
everyone concerned about the fashion trends
but not me I don't ear those threads
the time for change has finally arrived
and now I know punk will survive
the old timers, they won't come around
but we don't need them to keep punk around
they don't remember the fun they used to have
they just don't care, well that's too bad
the styles never changing the music
all sounds the same
what ever happened to
the punk rock of the past
well now here we are
to bring it back at last
[Chorus:]
here's to the spirit of ' 77
and havin' fun in a punk rock band
here's to the spirit of ' 77
and the punk rock of the past
everyone concerned about the fashion trends
but not me I don't ear those threads
the time for change has finally arrived
and now I know punk will survive
the old timers, they won't come around
but we don't need them to keep punk around
they don't remember the fun they used to have
they just don't care, well that's too bad
