lyrics

When the wig fell off it was over.
Green and blue hair flew past my shoulder.

Punk rock died that day.
Rebellion turned away.
It looked so real:
it got me hook, line and sinker.
Punk rock died that day.

I just stood there, staring blankly
at the fakeness of it all.
Summer fading into fall.
The stupid, happy innocence that we shared was gone forever

As she picked up the wig off the beer and spit splattered floor,
no one seemed to care.
The corporate sponsorship
that had begun to slip
gained the momentum it had lacked.
We walked away with nothing to say.
Cold and frozen in our apathy.
