I heard a rumor and it's hard to ignore
Everybody is saying punk's not cool anymore
So I called all my friends just to make sure
Then I went down to the record store
Took all my CDs of Rancid and traded them in for the new Rancid album
Shaved off my Mohawk,
I got a bald head and a tattoo that says "I'll skank till I'm dead".
No one likes the punks these days
LET'S GO SKA! WE CAN START TODAY!
Politics Schmolitics, we can get some food
And we can write songs about being rude
I got a porkpie, a bad attitude, a checkerboard tie and a three-piece suit
I'm glad that I found this sound
And I hope there's cheap tattoo removal when this trend dies down
I wanna be cool the Rastafarian way
LET'S GO SKA! HEP HEP HEP HEY!
