Modern Punk

from Pastel Hand Grenade by Max Knightley

lyrics

Drivin' down the highway
Got a six pack in the trunk
I'm just here to see the starlight
That's modern punk

I've got no money,
got no game
Don't got much chance
of findin' fame
But put my foot to the floor
and keep movin' along
All I need is speed
and my favorite song

Three bucks in your pocket
Is a sandwich in your hand
My tastes ain't all too pricey
But they sure are grand (whoa-oh-oh-oh)

It's an uphill climb,
bein' who I am
Folks say "play it safe" --
I don't think I can
Not sure I got a future,
that ship might be sunk
but I keep on movin'
that's modern punk

Let's be clear, I'll rip your throat out
if you're spoilin' for a fight
But if you aren't a jackass
We'll be alright

I don't care much 'bout
"fake" or "real",
Won't hear me whine 'bout
mass appeal
We got real problems,
so it seems absurd
to freak out about which albums
some dude's heard!

I don't know where I'm going
And I don't know where I am
But hey, you don't know either
So let's go hand in hand!
