THE SECRETIONS LYRICS

"Back In The Day Punk"

Teenage punks with a chaos plan
Minor Threat shirts in soccer-mom vans
Chip on the shoulder, finger in the air
Letting all the world know they just don't care

I'm not afraid of getting older
I'm not afraid of growing up
Not going to act like I still relate
But I'll never forget where they're coming from

I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be another "back-in-the-day" punk [x2]

Punk rock elitist looking for a fight
Falling down drunk on a Tuesday night
Chip on the shoulder, finger in the air
A hometown parody and unaware
I'm not afraid of getting older
I'm not afraid of growing up
I don't even want to relate
Because I don't give a damn where you're coming from

I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be another "back-in-the-day" punk [x2]


I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be another "back-in-the-day" punk [x2]

Running with a crew at 40 years of age
Clinging to the glory days of teenage rage
Chip on the shoulder, finger in the air
Integrity fading like the color of your hair
I'm not afraid of getting older
I'm not afraid of growing up
I don't think I can ever relate
Because you'll never know where I'm coming from

I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be another "back-in-the-day" punk [x4]

... Like you!
