And now at number one is a cover version
Badly sung by someone who won a tv competition
to start a full career that lasts all of one year
Public don't shed a tear here comes another one I.
They only in it for the money but they're calling it punk-pop
Another boy band on a video in Top Shop
Forgot the message of the clash and Public Enemy
To be graduate of fucking Fame Academy
Tonight Matthew they'll be head to toe
In their skater clothes singing a song about a punker show
While punk bands count their fans on one hand
It ain't easy being independent
Question
Why do they say its a shame
That every song is the same
When they only have themselves to blame?
Another sound to consume
Get ready for another one
But we be dancing to a different tune
They've hardly even begun
To manufacture the rape of punk to come
Boo!Record company Mandem tell me
That radio need music be a little friendly
Just like Di-bi-de de want to change we
But Laila got de individuality, check this
Another number one is by a group that once
Had something good that's gone and then they took the money and run
That woman used to be a role model for females
Until the boom in trucker cap and baggy jean sales
And now she's just representative for retail
And never dresses independent
Question
Where is the anger that burned
Against the wheels that turn
I won't believe that its dead and gone
Get ready for another one
Another sound to consume
Get ready for another one
But we be dancing to a different tune
They've hardly even begun
To manufacture the rape of punk to come
Yeah, must be the money
So stand be proud, of this underground
That we have found, this is out sound
Inside
We see them in their videos this room
We see them on the TV shows
We are parading in their stolen clothes
As one its rebellion for six year olds
Beyond
The public is addicted
The rape
To homogenized pop-crack
Of punk
They pump it in your living room
To come
ITS TIME TO TAKE IT BACK
Another sound to consume
Get ready for another one
But we be dancing to a different tune
They've hardly even begun
To manufacture the rape of punk to
Rape of punk to
Rape of punk to
Rape of punk to come
