punk
lyrics & music by peter c marinari 9.13.0
How do you find your voice/
when you've got it buried under
years spent not digging out/
how will you ever make a choice/
when you can't even get the words
out of your mouth//
maybe we can join a punk band/
if we half ass it you can scream
all the words/ and i'd get
by with a little try/ all you
need is a guitar and three or
four chords/ i'd go all out and buy
and electric/ a star is what we'd
be if i could just thrash it/
but i think you need a chance to
say what you feel for real and
you shouldn't waste it//
whoa-oa how could you ever make a choice/
whoa-oa i think you need a voice for that/
whoa-oa why don't we join a rock band/
whoa-oa we could fade into the background//
i think we need a wall of sound
around us/ so no one will know what
we are saying/ if we blend in they
can't pick on us and pick us out
and ruin our day/ maybe we should
go back to highschool/ where
i was a nerd and you were a lesbo/
i know that we could do it again/
i could be the prom queen and
you could be the captain of a team/
any team/ we know now that it doesn't
matter what you win/ as long as you
look good within
but did you ever make a choice/
i thought you needed a voice for that/
whoa-oa why don't we join a rock band/
whoa-oa we could fade into the background// /
