Lyrics

We will carry on.

We are determined to persist.

This is who we want to be. Don't try to tell us a thing.

We have a clear identity; don't attempt to influence us.

We're living, young, wild, and free.

We are enjoying life with a sense of freedom and spontaneity.

You'll never get through to me.

Your attempts to communicate with us will not succeed.


So why can't you see there's no reason to shout?

There is no need for confrontation; no reason to be loud.

There's no reason to be so loud.

Volume and aggression are unnecessary; you lack authority.

Because you're not a king, you can't make a decree.

Being authoritative is not within your capability.

We're not backing down.

We will not yield or retreat.


Out on the streets they've been calling the shots.

Others have been in control on the streets, but our influence will surpass theirs.

But not for long because we run this block. On the grind, we're on the clock. All we need is our punk rock.

We are hardworking and determined, and our music (punk rock) is all we need.


We won't listen to the things you say. If we want something, we take it.

We ignore your advice and take what we desire.

You might as well be moving on.

If you don't agree with us, it's best for you to move on.

We don't listen to the songs you sing. And don't care what you think.

We are indifferent to the messages in your songs and to your opinions.

So you can keep dreaming on.

We dismiss your aspirations; continue dreaming without us.

I said dream on. We're never changing our own ways.

We are resolute in maintaining our ways; we won't conform.

We're gonna go on living for today.

We choose to live in the present and not be constrained by change.

Every day.

Every day, we embrace our chosen lifestyle.


Out on the streets they've been calling the shots.

Similar to line 11, reiterating our dominance in the streets.

But not for long because we run this block. On the grind, we're on the clock. All we need is our punk rock.

Reinforcement of our work ethic and reliance on punk rock.


Don't tell us what to do anymore!

We reject any attempts to control or influence us.

Don't tell us what to do!

We are defiant and won't be dictated to.
