4 GREAT PUNK LYRICS SEARED INTO MY BRAIN UNTIL DEATH

1. "He tried to stand up to Fidel / But nearly got us blown to Hell / Said he'd get us to the moon / But spent all his time chasing poon!" - THE HUNS, "Glad He's Dead"

2. "Now I guess I'll have to tell 'em / That I've got no cerebellum" - THE RAMONES, "Teenage Lobotomy"

3. "Kill them 'cause their hair's too long / Kill them 'cause their views are wrong" - DEADBEATS, "Kill The Hippies"

4. "Hey Cop! I just shot some crank / I just got out of the tank / I just robbed a bank / I feel pretty rank" - THE NUBS, "Job"

  1. What a coincidence-- the Ramones and the Deadbeats lyrics you mentioned are two that I have stuck in my brain, also.

    Along with "Our attention's undivided/Dammit, we're excited!", unfortunately.

  2. "Kill them 'cause you don't like what they wear, kill them 'cause their stink fills up the air!"

    That song is a gift that just keeps giving.

  4. Aw, crap, never mind-- it's been removed.

    Maybe 10 or 20 years ago, someone had taken documentary footage of the Monterey Pop Festival and a few other things and made a video for "Kill The Hippies" out of it. The guy who made the video then posted it on YouTube a couple of months ago, but now it's been taken down.

    "Everything looks better when the world is black.
    So grab some forks and make your first attack"

    Angry Samoans, "Lights Out"

    I can't remember anything specific, but I used to get a kick from Flipper on their first LP as well. ("Life, Life, Life is the only thing worth living for")
