“One Hundred Punks” is a hidden track, a well-known secret by the time the album went out, with Dag Nasty spray-painting “100 punks rule” across DC during the recording sessions. It was originally performed by Generation X.
They customized their gear and synchronized
The flame out in the streets with flame in their eyes
Guerilla operator ain't heard of cool
Check out any wall - one hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule
A hundred punks run with London town
Down Wardour Street to the Soho Sound
Don't sleep all week only when they fall down
A hundred rumble boys and tumble girls
Protected by steel in a private world
Tomorrow's next faces advertise today
And the studs on their backs say
One hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule
A hundred punks run the loaded gun
They look so sharp they look like one
If you ain't got the look you'll never be one
A hundred punks run with total suss
A hundred good mates you know you'll trust
There's never no bother and there's never no fuss
Check out any wall - one hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule
Fat Mike's number hundred-and-one
Knows one day
He'll be one
Watch him
Watch him go
A hundred punks run the leather army
Nobody's side not at home with TV
Even when I'm down I hear 'em sing for me
Check out any wall - One hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule
Check out any wall - One hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule
I checked out all the walls - One hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule
Okay
