Misprint
Wanderlust Anthems: A Punk Rock Journey of Rebellion and Resilience
Lyrics
When we were fifteen
Reflecting on a time in the past when they were fifteen years old.
Out past the edge of town
Being outside the town's limits.
Breaking bottles and building fires
Engaging in activities like breaking bottles and starting fires.
With no else around
Being alone without anyone else present.
Other kids, they called us freaks
Other children labeling them as unusual or strange.
But we didn't give a shit
Not caring about the opinions of others.
A couple of wanderlust anarchists
Identifying themselves as adventurous rebels against established systems.
Feeling disillusioned
Feeling disenchanted or disappointed.
Holding back the screams
Suppressing strong emotions or frustrations.
Sure we stood for something
Believing in something, although its precise nature is uncertain.
For what, it's hard to say the least
Uncertainty about the cause or belief they stood for.
Don't wanna end up another statistic
Not wanting to become a misrepresented or misunderstood statistic in the news.
That the news will misprint
Fearing being inaccurately portrayed or overlooked in media reports.
Got my six string and a microphone
Possessing a guitar and a microphone.
It's a sound salvation, radio
Seeing music as a form of salvation, especially through radio.
Put some records on and strum along
Playing records and creating music using simple chord progressions.
And these four chords will become our favorite songs
Turning a few basic chords into their favorite songs.
Let's get in the van and play some shows!
Planning to tour in a van and perform concerts.
An anthem of rebellion
Creating a rebellious anthem or song.
Heart sewn upon my sleeve
Showing emotions openly and prominently.
I found a new religion
Discovering a new passion or belief system.
Greg Graffin was my priest
Admiring and looking up to a particular figure as an influential guide.
Now I'm 33, still raising hell
Being older now (33 years old) but still causing trouble.
I've got a place to call my own suburban home
Owning a home in the suburbs.
I still write my songs with my trusty chords
Continuing to write music using the same trusted chords.
And pray to punk rock gods for a sing along
Seeking participation and unity in music among fans.
