Shonen Attack Lyrics by Overlöded

Love & Youth

2022

[Verse 1]
What happened to our roots, did we forget them?
What happened to our ancestors, did we reject them?
What's with all this bullshit, that we're shoving down our mouths
Did we forget what punk rock was all about?

[Chorus]
This is the sound of a new generation
So raise a fist up in the air
If you're coming along
If you're tired of all the fakers
Then cut them all down
And sing this song

[Verse 2]
What’s with all these adults trying to tell us how it’s done?
"Don't trust over thirty", that's rule number one
It seems like everyone's trying to make us disappear
If we scream loud enough, maybe someone will hear

[Chorus]
This is the sound of a new generation
So raise a fist up in the air
If you're coming along
If you're tired of all the fakers
Then cut them all down
And sing this song

[Spoken Bridge]
And now, for a lesson in punk rock history
It all started in the '70s where bands basically said:
"Fuck you!"
To the mainstream acts at the time and decided to rebel with a brand new sound
That melted the ears of anyone above the age of thirty
This continued through the 1990s where punk itself started to bleed into the mainstream
But still carried the same messages
Meanwhile, Japan had a punk rock rise of its own in the '90s
With “Seishun Punk” spawning a whole subculture of its own
Fast forward to today and punk is now a needle in a haystack
With the modern conception by the masses being a clusterfuck of misconceptions, definitions, and whatever Machine Gun Kelly is doing
So, ladies and gentlemen, I come to you with a proposal:
We must take back punk rock with force and bring back its meaning:
A big middle finger to the mainstream that wants to tell us what to say, what to do, and how to sound
So, with that said...

[Chorus x2]
This is the sound of a new generation
So raise a fist up in the air
If you're coming along
If you're tired of all the fakers
Then cut them all down
And sing this song
