Those Dumb Punk Kids (Will Buy Anything) Lyrics

Punk's been dumbed down to just another form of TV
Marketed to shoppers, spoonfed cartoon rebellion like sheep

Flock to worship any old-school band!
Who cares if they still care, or if they're bad?
Something new in town? Who wants to know?
And look at all the w****s, reunions for all the wrong reasons
Playing only songs from the good old days about how bad the good old days were

So why not us?
We don't even like our stuff no more!
But look at all that retro-racket cash!
Those dumb punk kids will buy anything
We'll sue the guy who wrote the songs so we can sell them into commercials
Steal the name and hit the road, trashing all our band stood for
We won't rehearse, sound worse,
dig up some old child star who never learns the words
Hey, we're back!
Show us how much you care!
The merch booth's right over there!
BUY!! BUY!!

And if this scam works, what a bandwagon it will be!
Malcom in the Middle in the Misfits, or Mary-Kate and Ashley!
Gary Coleman in Black Flag, Courtney in Nirvana at last!
And Emmanuel Lewis, back in action singing for The Germs
When will it end?
When people see this for what it is
Rock and Roll Swindle Pistols backed a thief
So how bout Martha Stewart in Dead Kennedys?

Cuz those dumb punk kids will buy anything
Dumb punk kids will buy anything
