Song information
When Punk first came out it was raw, dangerous and had an edge. Unfortunately the pretend punkers kind of killed it for me. This is a song about a pretender.

Of course this song would not be true punk.

Lyrics
I was a hippie in old San Francisco
I went from folk to New York disco

I looked in the mirror and what did I see
An bored old bum…. Looking back at me

Oh noooooo

Hey…. Hey…. Hey…. 
Hey…. Hey…. Hey…. 

It came to me it was time for a change
I didn’t care if they thought I was deranged
So I got a tattoo and dyed my hair green
My old lady hates it because she thinks its obscene

I told her I’m a punk rocker now cant you tell
You better watch out cuz I’m gonna raise hell

Hey…. Hey…. Hey…. 
Hey…. Hey…. Hey….

I wear tight clothes because Im thin as a rake
I got a mean mean snarl and I swear it ain’t fake
I’m rebel like a new James Dean
I’m a hundred thirty pounds but I act real mean 

Don’t mess with me cuz I’m a punk rocker now cant you tell
Cant you hear my rebel yell

Hey…. Ho…. Hey….
Hey…. Ho…. Lets go…

I’m a punk rocker now cant you tell
You better watch out cuz  I’m gonna raise hell

Hey…. Ho…. Hey….
Hey…. Ho…. Lets go…

I’m a punk rocker now cant you tell
You better watch out cuz I’m gonna raise hell

Hey…. Hey…. Hey….
Hey…. Hey…. Hey….

I like to l talk in my new english accent 
I’m insecure but I act real confident
I sing in a band but I got only one range
We only play fast and that will never change

Look at me I’m a punk rocker now cant you tell
I love preaching my punk gospel

I’m a punk rocker baby cant you tell
You better watch out cuz I’m gonna raise hell

Hey…. Ho…. Hey….
Hey…. Ho…. Hey….
Hey…. Ho…. Hey….
Hey…. Ho…. Lets gooo

Got a chuckle listening to this. The subject matter reminds me a little of Camper Van Beethoven's "Where the **** is Bill"?

@Bowman  thank for listening Charlie.  I'm glad you enjoyed:) @Steve_Brewer_Alt_Blues  I listened to it and its true.  My song is losely based on a friend I used to hang out with in my youth (Jack is another song about him).  I think we all know someone like that.  Maybe its envy.
@Wyndsok @Dyl  thanks for listenibg guys.  I uploaded a few other songs that the comments suggested they were punk.  Maybe I'm a punk at heart 😎

I've already warned my wife that when I turn 60 next year, I'm shaving my hair into a Mohawk and starting the punk band my friends and former band mates from high school have been threatening since the early 80s. So, if I need a couch to crash on in about a year...
Such a fun song! And more punk than pretty much anything that's come out in the last 40 years.
Enjoyed it!
