You're Only Punk Once

We all know it’s true because of the rumors we’ve heard
You’ve grown up and moved on, you’re ready to leave
But not a thing that you do can touch what I believe
So someone has gone and sold out punk rock
You know it’s happened before so why all the shock?
It now seems so clear who could have guessed at the time
It was just like a miracle they turned from water to wine
Raising their glasses they say they feel fine
They’ve all turned their backs, but I will never turn mine
You’re only punk once so you’d better do it right
Before you become the system that we all choose to fight
You say «nothing lasts forever we are wasting our time
We should not even try»
But I say I’ll stay positive until the day I die
