You're Only Punk Once

You ate and smoked and 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 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
