This song is a celebration of the changing British music scene in the mid 1970s, and specifically toward the newly emerging scene that would eventually become punk rock. This song and the album it is named after is considered to be a landmark piece of proto-punk, and was a major influence on Johnny...
[Intro]
One, two, three, four!
Wooh!
Yeah!
Oh, oh yeah!
[Verse 1]
I've been hanging around, waiting for my chance
To tell you what I think about the music that's gone down
To which you madly danced – frankly, you know that it stinks
I'm gonna scream, gonna shout, gonna play my guitar
Until your body's rigid and you see stars
[Verse 2]
Look at all the jerks in their tinsel glitter suits
Pansying around; look at all the nerks
In their leather platform boots, making with the heavy sound...
I'm gonna stamp on the stardust and scream 'til I'm ill –
If the guitar don't get ya, the drums will
[Instrumental Break]
Huh
[Verse 3]
Now's my big break – let me up on the stage
I'll show you what it's all about; enough of the fake
Bang your feet in a rage, tear down the walls and let us out!
We're more than mere morons, perpetually conned
So come on everybody, smash the system with the song
Come on everybody, smash the system with the song!
[Outro]
Smash the system with the song!
