The list

The list is thousands long
 People who decided it wasn't for them
 Did they really make that decision?
 Conditioning runs deep in the U.S.A
 Teenage rebellion is just fine as
 long as you stop once you turn eighteen
 Thousands of punks turned to society's tools
 There is something in their eyes
 You can tell they sold out
 Remember punk is more than teenage rebellion
 Sure it starts there. But why does it end?
 And the list is thousands long
 What other life is there besides a life of freedom?
 Never give in
 Never give up
 When boredom sets in
 Think of the young kids who we once were
 That enthusiasm is still there
 You look around
 What do you see?
 One to replace every five that leave
 And the list is millions long
 But, lately I see an upsurgency
 Back to old values of dedication and fuking rebellion
 Perhaps the list is only hundreds long
