what ever happened to a good old fashioned punk rock show?

seems all my favorite bands just curled up and died

and every venue in this town closed long ago

'cause everyone turned emo, sat at home, and cried



at least when they were hardcore

they had something to fight for

now all they do is whine

so emo boy who broke your heart?

i hope it was your girlfriend

the one who once was mine

back when punk rock was cool



and keeping up with all these kids is impossible

by the time i hear a new band they're already cliche

look down at me while you're tearing up your spectacles

and sit at home and cry on make out club all day



well this is where i stop please let me off



so emo boy cry me a river

at least your scene is still alive

and at least you've got a girlfriend

just like i did in '95

back when punk rock was cool
