I heard a rumor and it's hard to ignore   everybody is saying punk's not cool anymore   So I called all my friends just to make sure   then I went down to the record store   Took all my CDs of Rancid and traded them in for the new Rancid album   Shaved off my Mohawk,   I got a bald head and a tattoo that says "I'll skank till I'm dead".   No one likes the punks these days   LET'S GO SKA! WE CAN START TODAY!   Politics Schmolitics, we can get some food   and we can write songs about being rude   I got a porkpie, a bad attitude, a checkerboard tie and a three-piece suit   I'm glad that I found this sound   And I hope there's cheap tattoo removal when this trend dies down   I wanna be cool the Rastafarian way   LET'S GO SKA! HEP HEP HEP HEY!
