You ate and you smoked and you drank all your words We all know it's true because of the rumors we've heard You've grown up and moved on, you're ready to leave But not a thing that you do can touch what I believe So someone has gone and sold out punk rock You know it's happened before so why all the shock? It's so clear to see that it was never meant to be And that's O.K., what they do now will not change me It now seems so clear who could have guessed at the time It was just like a miracle they turned from water to wine Raising their glasses they say they feel fine They've all turned their backs, but I will never turn mine You're only punk once so you'd better do it right Before you become the system that we all choose to fight You say "nothing lasts forever we are wasting our time We should not even try" But I say I'll stay positive until the day I die
