The List - Filth

The list is thousands long

People who decided it wasn’t for them

Did they really make that decision?

Conditioning runs deep in the U.S.A

Teenage rebellion is just fine as long as you stop once you turn eighteen

Thousands of punks turned to society’s tools

There is something in their eyes

You can tell they sold out

Remember punk is more than teenage rebellion

Sure it starts there.

But why does it end?

And the list is thousands long

What other life is there besides a life of freedom?

Never give in

Never give up

When boredom sets in

Think of the young kids who we once were

That enthusiasm is still there

You look around

What do you see?

One to replace every five that leave

And the list is millions long

But, lately I see an upsurgency

Back to old values of dedication and fuking rebellion

Perhaps the list is only hundreds long
