i recall back in '79 i was just a wee kid livin' in a dive
didn't drink, didn't dance, didn't ever smoke hash
but it changed when i heard the clash
and you know i needed more so i got
up and out to the record store
i bought all the records i could afford
an' i played em all on my stereo

[Chorus:]
this is a song saluting punk rockers rise
and what they did to change the times
but with such a lifestyle they burnin'
on both sides
now they're droppin' like flies
all those punk rock guys

i became a fan & i remain that way
and to this day, i'm still blown away
those bands just cut me to the bone
like the damned, the pistols & the ramones
now we just wanna say
they made us what we are today
so now every time we play
we remember those of yesterday

[Repeat Chorus]

Suck with it just keeped me to
bone so everytime I play
I remember the great
