Quichey's "Punk Rock's Opening Lines" Quiz
Posted: Tue Feb 03, 2009 12:15 pmThe following are the first verses of ten punk rock songs. Gotta name the song and the band. Fire away!
1. Moral Threat - Social Distortion
You beat us up when we're alone
Come back later and then you're gone
Now you're tucked away in your bed
And I've got stitches in my head
2. Bombs Away - D.O.A.
Hey hey, get out of my way, just got back from the USA
Take a look at the TV screen, see the visions of the western dream
A war fought with compassion, a calculated reaction.
3. I Am The Owl - Dead Kennedys
I am your plumber
No I never went away
I still bug your bedrooms
And pick up everything you say
It can be a boring job
To moniter all day your excess talk
I hear when you're drinking
And cheating on your lonely wife
I play tape recordings
Of you to my friends at night
We've got our girl in bed with you
You're on candid camera
We just un-elected you
4. Pigman - Subhumans
Guilty conscience stews away in the kitchen
Knock at the door, it’s the next door neighbour
Farming is a living, killing is a crime
Where do the meat men draw the line?
5. Journey to the end of East Bay - Rancid
Reconcile to the belief
Consumed in sacred ground for me
There wasn't always a place to go
But there was always an urgent need to belong
6. What Can You Do - Bad Religion
So you waste another day getting older and gray in the head,
And you're hearing lots of stories 'bout the happy time you have ahead.
There are other folks in power so you kick back and get farther behind,
And although the world rotates itself the only thing you twist is your mind.
7. Don't Call Me White - NOFX
The connotations wearing my nerves thin
Could it be semantics generating the mess we're in?
I understand that language breeds stereotype
But what's the explanation for the malice, for the spite?
8. Stick The F****** Flag Up Your Goddam Ass, You Sonofabitch - Propagandhi
My father told me "son, it's futile to resist,
You can topple ideology but not the armies they enlist."
I questioned the intentions of the boy scouts chanting war.
"Well that's the sound of freedom, son" he said.
9. Last Caress - Misfits
I got something to say
I killed a baby today
And it doesn't matter much to me
As long as it's dead
10. Fix Me - Black Flag
Someday I'll feel no pain
Someday I won't have a brain
They'll take away the part that hurts and let the rest remain
