Lost Words in Punk's Demise: Unraveling Meaning Amid Factory Marches
Lyrics
Pack up your accents, pack up your batteries
Packing up accents and batteries, suggesting leaving behind cultural influences and energy sources.
Now go marching back to the factory
Marching back to the factory may symbolize returning to a manufactured or routine existence.
A bunch of dresses down to the mattress
Referring to dresses on a mattress might hint at personal or intimate experiences.
Car park asphalt tastes good, actually
Suggesting an unconventional enjoyment of the taste of car park asphalt.
Pack up your accents, pack up your batteries
Repetition for emphasis on leaving behind cultural elements and returning to a manufactured life.
Now go marching back to the factory
-A bunch of dresses down to the mattress
-Car park asphalt tastes good, actually

-So punk is dead and this is so new

Your revolution cooked up in a boardroom
-Like the message on your t-shirt
-I don't know what it means but the colors really work
-Pack up your accents, pack up your batteries
Repetition emphasizing leaving behind cultural elements and returning to a manufactured life.
Now go marching back to the factory
-A bunch of dresses down to the mattress
-Car park asphalt tastes good, actually
