You were once a nice suburban girl  Until mom and dad gave you their special love  You wanted to tell them something personal  But the exact words you couldn't think of  So you cut and dyed your hair  During an overdose of parental advice  Now they're wondering where they went wrong  And what happened to the friends they liked  Now you're a punk rocker  With another set of problems  How to come up with money to feed yourself  Now you're one rude punk rocker  Hair dyed and tattoos everywhere  There's no going back you realize  But you wish it could be better  Your drinking all your problems away  With goons who treat you like shit  For a while you enjoyed it  But you keep thinking there's more than this  Now you're a punk rocker  With another set of problems  How to enjoy yourself without losing it  You say you've got your life tied up  But is it with something around your arm?  You know everything you need to know  But is it just enough to keep you outta harm?  You say you know what you want  But will getting it be that easy?  Your enjoying yourself you say  But wasn't it more easy when you had more opportunities?  Now you're a punk rocker  With a shit load of problems  Who you gonna turn to  When your life gets smashed in?
