Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[Am]
[G][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Lost in a sea
[C]of com[G]bat boots[Am]
Flush the bouncers [F]with wasted
[G]youth[Am]
When did punk rock
become so safe?
[F]When did the scene become a joke?
[C]The kids who used to live
[G]for beer and speed
Now want [Am]their fries and coke
Cursing and flipping
birds are not [F]allowed
In fact let's keep [C]noise levels [Am]down
[F]Must

[Verse 2]
separate the church an[Am]d skate!

[Verse 3]
[Am]Why don't we put p[F]ads
[G]on the kids?[Am]
Helmets,
[F]head gear and mouth [G]pieces![Am]
Then we could pad the floor
and walls
[F]Put cameras inside bathroom stalls
[C]We make sure only nice [G]bands play
Make every show [Am]a matinee
Teach kids to be all they [F]can be
And we could sing [C]my country [Am]tis of thee
[F]Sweet land of liberty
[C]

[Verse 4]
When did punk rock become [Dm]so safe?
I know [G]it wasn't Duane
[Am]or Fletcher
Who put up the barri[F]cades
Like a stake in [C]the heart
[Am]Somehow we got driven [F]apart[Am]
[C][Am]

[Interlude 1]
[C]
[Am][Dm][F][Am]
I want [F]conflict! I want [G]dissent!

[Verse 5]
[Am]
I want [F]the scene to rep[G]resent[Am]
Our hatred of author[F]ity
Our fight against complacency
[C]Stop singing songs 'bout girls
[G]and love!
You killed the owl! [G#5]You freed
[Am]the dove!
Confrontation and polit[F]ics
Replaced with harmonies and shticks
[C]When did punk rock become
[G]so tame?
These fucking band
[Am]s all sound the same
We want our fights,
we want our thugs!
[F]We want our burns,
we want our drug[C]s!
Where is the violent apathy?!
[G]These fucking recor[Am]ds are rated G!
[F]When did punk

[Verse 6]
rock become so
[Am]safe?![G]

[Outro 1]
[Am][G][Am]
[G][Am][G][Am]
