1977 — when punk first came alive
Part of the class rebellion — from the misfits of that time
People needed solutions — from the boredom of their lives
We still feel the brilliance — of the punk scene of that time
It’s a riot 77 — and punk is still alive
It’s a riot 77 — and the spirit still survives
It’s a riot 77 — when the scene is outta control
It’s a riot 77 — we say long live punk rock and roll
Now it’s 1996 — and things are outta control
Punk has come alive — in a way we couldn’t know
I can’t say how it survived — but I knew it always would
Rocking’ out in a punk rock band singing’ songs, we always loved
