[Verse]
G Bb I know it’s hypocritical to point fingers at the people who point fingers. G Bb But when we all march to the beat of the same different drummer, G Bb yeah the steps start to come off like clockwork. G Bb I guess I’m saying we could stand to be nicer C Because when you’re in a basement talking shit Db And interspersing it with speaking in namedrops and units, G I must admit I’m not the best when on the defensive. Bb I’d rather steal your whiskey than your heart in conversation. G I’d rather break three strings a song then stick to a routine Bb Like I’m ripe for the picking after growing on a tree C And then talk about the industry, cross-market positivity A With vinyl nerds and brightly colored, quirky messy record sleeves. D I’d rather be vomiting and I despise vomiting. Blugh.
[Chorus]
G But thanks for the beer. C I appreciate your time but can we talk about something else? G If you really think that you and I are on the same page B C You can go ahead and fuck yourself. E C Because you’ve got coke and good looks, E C I’ve got overdue library books E C G So let’s be friends and change the subject now.
[Verse]
Bb ‘Cause the last thing I wanna be is another negative asshole. G Like God speaks through my acoustic guitar Bb And I’ve got the perfect set of morals C On a dry erase board at the front of the house. Db FOLLOW THESE CONDITIONS OR WE’LL KICK YOUR ASS OUT: G Vegans only: NO MEAT ALLOWED! Bb Straight edge only: NO DRINKING ALLOWED! G Fixed gears only: NO THREE-SPEEDS ALLOWED! Bb Me me me!!!: I’M SMART! I’M RIGHT! I’M SMART! C A I think it’s dumb when you take the inherently fun like riding bikes
And singing songs and say they’re not for everyone
D
As if for your whole life you were cool as shit.“Punk tourist!”
[Chorus]
G C ‘Cause you still beg for cash cause you spent your parents’ last on a Greyhound to the Fest G B C and your jacket says Crass but I don’t give an ass I’m not giving you fifty cents E C E C so that you can buy a forty and destroy a hotel party E C and the man who cleans your mess up shrugs and says, G G/F “This nonconformity looks like conformity, Em Eb like boring nice people pose threats to your authority. G G/F This positivity is negativity Em Eb and you boys sure left me with a mess to clean.”
[Verse]
G Smile big, hug bigger. Talk big, act bigger. C Stop judging do something, shut the fuck up do something. G Instead of sneering at my friends and me ‘cause we’re not stealing B C Buy a troubled friend a drink at the bar and tip well. G Don’t spend your time scoffing when you do that you're just C Scoffing like the people who scoff at us while defending our community. G You’re a teacher, you’re a parent, you’re the head of a dictatorship. B C When the ground is covered up in rules you’re guaranteed to power trip.
[Bridge]
G G/F This nonconformity looks like conformity. Em Eb Why should anyone believe in our community? G G/F This organization doesn’t feel like anarchy ‘cause Em Eb We’re suiting up to have the same identity and the boring nice people say, G G/F “Shut up the punx!”x2 All the people who have barbecues to feed their friends and family, Eb Bb D “Shut up the punx!”x2 All the people writing signs with information, not just blaming things, G G/F “Shut up the punx!”x2 All the boys and girls are fed up with just saying that we’re punk, we say, Eb Bb “Shut up the punx!” “Shut up the punx!”
