When you were young they told you things like You have it all, just fall in line Do what they say and buy the right things A pretty smile is for the ratings And then you find you can't quite get there Corporate ladder made of thin air Prosperity you must be dreaming You ever get the feeling You've been had? Woah woah woah woah woah Let's Make America Punk Again! Queue up shut up and stay quiet Let's Make America Punk Again! Seat at the feast, but the entire Pie is for them Jack up the rent Criminal intent I can't believe it But we can tear it all down and then Throw it away We'll make it punk again And now you're older you should know better Common sense is on a bender Free bread sticks they clog the toilet of the C. B. G. B. in the Newark airport Tinder girl a Hitler-loving sex bot Comb-over boy a Taco salad-loving despot Cable news the Fourth branch of the government You're selling you but Who's co-opting who? The problem is you! / Woah woah woah woah woah Let's Make America Punk Again! Wait your turn please take a number Let's Make America Punk Again! Auger in, cause we're going under You hypocrite We're sick of it There's nothing left For the ninety-nine percent But we can tear it all down and then Throw it away and We'll make it punk again (bridge) nah nah nah, nah nah nah etc. Let's Make America Punk Again! Second-person plural present active Punk imperative Let's Make America Punk Again! Revolution is the plot, punk rock is the narrative Equality Fraternity Liberty Peace love and piercings We're going to build it all up and then Throw it away cause We'll make it punk again Woah x4 Let's Make America Punk Again YEAH!

The Cure 03:35
So if you're blue, feeling down on your luck The beer is warm, and the women won't talk Just come with me we're gonna shake things up And have ourselves some fun! Just grab some friends and a couple of beers Some cool cats, we don't want any squares, We'll dance away all our worries and fears Until we see the sun! We may not have MDs, but we've got just the thing, To pick your spirits up and make you dance and sing! So throw those meds away because we're pretty sure, If you suffer from the blues then we've got the cure! We'll turn the music up, and give in to the beat Because it’s all that's real, the only thing you need, Just let it flow through you, it's never gonna stop So let's party all night and skank till we drop! Now say you break out in an ugly rash, You have a fever and you seize and thrash, Those other doctors they just want your cash, It's really not complex Just say goodbye to your hospital bills, No need for vaccines or a cocktail of pills, A dose of ska can cure all of your ills, With minor side effects! So if you're feeling faint, 'cause you ate Ebola Or say you fibrillate and then your AIDS flares up, Ignore those med-school geeks, because they're probably wrong, You can trust us, we're doctors. we prescribe this song! We'll turn the music up, and give in to the beat Because it's all that's real, the only thing you need, Just let it flow through you, it's never gonna stop So let's party all night and skank till we drop! (Bridge) We'll turn the music up and give in to the beat Because it's all that's real, the only thing you need Just leave your doubts behind, and join us on the floor We'll dance the night away, and then skank some more! And now your heart beats time it's finally sinking in, The music takes control from underneath your skin Just let it flow through you, it's never gonna stop So let's party all night and skank till we drop!

Will you shut up and, Get my ear plugs, you, Call this music, no way Got no talent and, It's a challenge not, To get right sick, in your face Oh baby you make a horrible noise and I don't know how, You ever got so much fame You make a horrible noise and I tell you now, You ought to be so ashamed Do what you like lady, You make a Horrible Noise Cacophonous din, Corrupting Children, I hope you're proud of yourself Dancing half naked, I just can't take it, What your dad thinks, of you now Oh baby you make a horrible noise and I don't know how, You ever got so much fame You make a horrible noise and I tell you now, You ought to be so ashamed In the court of indecency, The verdict is guilty, Gallery chants this refrain: Horrible Noise!

With my old guitar, Call Pat Benatar, Will come to my rescue (Doubt): (Defiance): The noise you make is horrible The noise you make is perfectly all right! I never want to hear those sounds again You never back away from such a fight Your music is deplorable Your music brings the darkness into light No one will listen in It is true to the end Miley: I'll make a horrible noise and I don't care, What you do what you think or say I'll make a horrible noise while the boys stare, And I'll take it straight to the bank From Siouxsie to Madonna, Joan Jett and Rihanna You'll all stand up straight when we say... Horrible Noise! Horrible Noise! Horrible Noise! Horrible Noise! Man Miley: Singing and sex fashion's part of the game I’m so perplexed there’s no need to declaim Both: Say what you want baby we'll make a horrible noise! Yeah! Say what you want baby we'll make a horrible noise! Yeah! Say what you want baby we'll make a horrible noise! Yeah! Say what you want baby we'll make a horrible noise!

I know you're sneaking in my bed, you're leaving a scent Kill my love, don’t think I know, I know, where you hide the bones Only alive by Orange Juice and Drugs, and even your love Is too thin to wipe away the blood, but leaves a deep cut You never need a cause for your effect, too intense for intent When you play prevent for your defense, you can hide your accent Maybe I'm just too naive, I believe I’ll have a drink and Show your teeth make another scene, like here comes the milkman Hey! You only keep it because I want it, we both think that it's worth it It's ok! It's only real if you really feel it, you can take it you can fake it you can have it all You can keep it cause I don't want it, we all know it’s not worth it It's ok! It’s only real if you really feel it, you can take it you can have it all Blue grey eye, pearl white teeth, Oh hey, a picture of your diamond What you think is permanent and real, is an event horizon How did you think that this was going to end? Forever home and a white fence? You'll never quell the voices in your head, and here comes the Milkman Hey! You only keep it because I want it, we both think that it's worth it It's ok! It's only real if you really feel it, you can take it you can fake it you can have it all You can keep it cause I don't want it, we all know it’s not worth it It's ok! It’s only real if you really feel it, you can take it you can have it all How long can we put on a show, the show While timbers hide the rocks below, below Dredging the past with net in tow, in tow With ashes for the wind to blow, will blow How does a house become a home, this home Is falling fallow to the crow, the crows Caught in your trap I’m a doe, John Doe You keep I go, you reap I sow I know, I know, I know! Hey! You only keep it because I want it, we both think that it's worth it It's ok! It's only real if you really feel it, you can take it you can fake it you can have it all You can keep it cause I don't want it, we all know it’s not worth it It's ok! It’s only real if you really feel it, you can take it you can have it all

I keep a list of names at the tip of my pretty little tongue Before I go to sleep I close my eyes and whisper one by one I'm not like other girls I see a different world hairshirt and blood and bone you walk the long way home the way you look at me you shake down my belief it's hanging from a tree gently swinging you call it chemistry it's more like sorcery It's time to cut the scene turn house lights down to candlelight my list will drop by one this very night I'll sell my soul to see you now I keep your secrets silently gliding to your open door with the moon on my wing the pretty one you see before you now your name I softly sing a glance with raised brow nothing to hide now you think you are free you never will be the latch is undone it's time to have fun a shooting star but you won’t save me Hey little riding hood whisper my name to me so deep into the wood a voice so soft and sweet come on and take my hand I bite without a bark My what big eyes you have So I can find you in the dark blue sash white dress I want to look into your eyes For the last time When I'm cutting me I'm cutting you

Jamestown 04:02
You crept to my door with your heart in your throat and our fingers did touch like we’re crossing a moat I held you a tight as a trap and as quiet as a mouse In Jamestown We kissed on the stairs too drunk for the bar and you bloodied your hand on the hood of my car What did I know I had lost what I thought I had found In Jamestown oh oh I was writing your song in the snow oh oh But the night was so Cold, we were Buried below thought I heard you call in the beat of my heart thought I knew the way through the gathering dark follow the trail of our names that we write in the stars To Jamestown
