The walls of my myth are closing in
Past a twenty year rebellion
And the song comes back again
I am a man and my blood is still running strong
We didn't realize we'd all live so long
When I revive my once youth nation
A Relic Song for the new generation
Another year and the bolder I stay bound
Punk Rock, Ultra-dark, Old School, Underground.
Corporate "punk" stars manufactured screaming
Miming our lyrics stripped of all their meaning
I may revive my once youth nation
A Relic Song for the new generation
The walls of my myth are crashing down
Past a twenty year rebellion
And the song comes back around
One step forward and two steps back
An old look, an old sound dressed new for the amnesiac
When I relive my Punk generation
A Relic Song for the Fad youth nation
For my crimes I may not be remembered
The Noble Primitive hardcore disrespected
I am a man - the world is alive
I am a man - the future's on fire
More than any man I am
I may revive my Punk generation
A Relic Song for the Fad youth nation
I may revive my Punk generation
A Relic Song for the Fad youth nation
One step forward
("I may revive my Punk generation")
Two steps back
("A Relic Song for the Fad youth nation")
One step forward
("I may revive my Punk generation")
Two steps back.
("A Relic Song for the Fad youth nation")
One step forward
(Things are looking up
Things are looking up
Things are looking up)
Two steps back, two steps back, two steps back.
