Put in position to wage teenage mayhem 
A common affair for the ones who are juiced 
If it is weakness that grants us the power 
We thrive on what's stronger than most of the world 

Glass breaks/the dimming lights/sweat, heat and profane debate/ 
the smart ones stay on the outside/while drunken heads and 
arms erupt/centered man swings a punch, spits a tooth, postures 
odd/a punk rock escapade/five bucks a head to be king dick in the crowd 

We are the ones who must sport the position 
cheap beer/trendy clicks/lesbian love is accepted and right/ 
shaved heads meet hair in the mix/blending the 80's and 90's 
with hate 

Shows on/dates canceled/kicked out for reasons that seem so 
unfair/skin crusts against the cops/a foregone conclusion that's 
tired and beat 
Ringworm,crabs and lice/V.D. ecstasy, speed and horse/a 
heaven/of unmatched importance/an honor of sex to be stuck by the 
punk 
Rich homes/with money and food/abandoned for the bums on the 
street/a lifestyle that's unexplainable/don't try and save what is 
all meant to be 

If it is free/from (a) family that's seen/you can just keep it 
if you must beg/it's better instead/you must follow the etiquette 
You know when it rains you're in your bed at home 
You act so real when you are alone 
You better not let the mohawked crowd see 
Give it five years, you'll retire your piercings 
You must admit that you mimic the weaklings
