I heard a rumor and it's hard to ignore

everybody is saying punk's not cool anymore

So I called all my friends just to make sure

then I went down to the record store

Took all my CDs of Rancid and traded them in for the new Rancid album

Shaved off my Mohawk,

I got a bald head and a tattoo that says "I'll skank till I'm dead".

No one likes the punks these days

LET'S GO SKA! WE CAN START TODAY!

Politics Schmolitics, we can get some food

and we can write songs about being rude

I got a porkpie, a bad attitude, a checkerboard tie and a three-piece suit

I'm glad that I found this sound

And I hope there's cheap tattoo removal when this trend dies down

I wanna be cool the Rastafarian way

LET'S GO SKA! HEP HEP HEP HEY!
