1977 - when punk first came alive
Part of the class rebellion - from the misfits of that time
People needed solutions - from the boredom of their lives
We still feel the brilliance - of the punk scene of that time

It's a riot 77 - and punk is still alive
It's a riot 77 - and the spirit still survives
It's a riot 77 - when the scene is outta control
It's a riot 77 - we say long live punk rock and roll

Now it's 1996 - and things are outta control
Punk has come alive - in a way we couldn't know
I can't say how it survived - but I knew it always would
Rocking' out in a punk rock band singing' songs, we always loved
