They Can’t Keep Us Down

Does it make a difference if we play punk rock
And unlock the mysteries of hardcore and walk around the block
In trendy clothes, pretending to be superstars, or younger than we are?
We just want to play drums, bass and guitar
No make-up, nothing bizarre
Vocals but no stories from a far
Still we gather more power in our hands
Than your collection of one thousand bands
And you know that
They can't keep us down
Still around adding something new to the sound
Even if we go half speed
Still delivering songs that people need
To get through their lives
So we move between the sharpest knives
Ready to cut us down
Try to deprive us all from what we need to survive
But you know that
